John Macgregor, an aid worker who has been accompanying teams delivering food and water to Battambang, described the area as a vast inland sea where conditions are dire and malnutrition is common.

"Diseases are becoming more common and yesterday our doctors diagnosed the first cases of cholera.

Ducks, chickens, dogs and cats are often in there with people - a factor in the mounting disease toll," said Macgregor, communications director of Cambodian War Amputees Rehabilitation Society (CWARS) from Phom Penh, the Cambodian capital.
