Robroy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'm working with my NGO (CWARS) in Battambang province, northern Cambodia, delivering food & fresh water to 4 communes cut off or entirely submerged by the floods. We have to travel for an hour by powerboat (or yesterday 23 powerboats) to reach them - crossing by water 20+ kilometers of what was formerly land. Much of Battambang is now a vast inland sea. Lots of kids are going down with water-borne diseases - about 1 in 3. Today a team doing a delivery at Ta Phon commune reported 60 kids with severe diarrhea. (He thought it looked like cholera, but we'll have to wait till our medical teams get there next week for a proper diagnosis.) Almost no media attention though.
