More or less a natural annual occurrence so I'm sure the people know how to cope.

"Flood victims sought refuge on patches of land in Cambodia's Battambang Province, hit by the worst flooding in living memory."

You're half right...as the effects of global climate change continue to manifest, this will likely soon be an annual occurrence.

"The worst flooding in living memory" - it doesnt happen annually.

Some posters here do not show much compassion to Cambodia people,and nobody blames their government or leaders?
