Of Cambodia’s 25 provinces 23 have been affected by floods with four severely inundated with water and 110,000 families left stranded due to the natural disaster, the National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) confirmed. NCDM spokesman Soth Kim Kol Mony said yesterday that so far floods have affected 23 provinces, inundating 105 districts and 438 communes while 112,760 families have been affected equal to 507,420 people.

 

Mony said that there were 4,556 families representing 25,502 people who were evacuated to safety in Kampong Thom, Siem Reap, Battambang and Banteay Meanchey provinces which suffered extreme flooding. Flash floods, he added, have damaged more than 180,000 hectares of land and over 60,000 hectares of rice have been destroyed.

 

“The floods are still inundating much land, and water levels in some areas will increase causing more damage to rice crops across the country,” he said. The Ministry of Water Resources  and Meteorology has forecast rain to continue in badly inundated areas and floods will continue.
