PM orders emergency shelter for Cambodian students in Israel

Prime Minister Hun Manet has ordered the setting up of an emergency shelter, for the 452 Cambodian students in Israel, about 300 km away from the Gaza Strip, where a war between Hamas and Israel rages on for the 11th consecutive day.

Government spokesman Pen Bona said yesterday, “As the evolving situation in the Gaza Strip remains unclear, Prime Minister Hun Manet has tasked his officials to set up an emergency shelter in coordination with the Israeli officials for the stranded Cambodian students to prepare for any eventuality that might come up in the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.”

“The temporary shelter is located in the southern part of Israel, bordering Egypt and Jordan, and about 300 km from the Gaza Strip. The government will also provide transportation, accommodation and food for all the students when they shift to the new area,” Bona said. He added, “As of yesterday, all the students have registered online to communicate with each other and also to help the authorities to keep tabs on them. They are in different areas and locations now, but all are safe and have resumed their work and study.”
