Description

National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) spokesman Keo Vy said on Tuesday that since September 3, over 500km of dirt roads and 60km of national and provincial roads have sustained serious damage due to the rising Mekong River and recent heavy downpours. The ravaged dirt roads are in four provinces including Stung Treng, Kratie, Kampong Cham and Tbong Khmum. NCDM spokesman Keo Vy said floods have also damaged 13,811ha of rice crops and 879ha of other crops. Around 45,798 families have seen their homes submerged, with 6,893 of them evacuated to higher ground along with their 20,917 heads of cattle. Vy said as of Tuesday, the floods had killed seven people – two men and five children aged 18 months to 11 years.
