Flood in Cambodia
Heavy rainfall in October has resulted in flash floods in Cambodia which have taken 152 lives and affected over half a million people.
16 of Cambodia's 24 provinces have been affected by the flooding and the Mekong River was particularly affected, as its water levels rose with the rainfall.
28,000 people have been evacuated to higher ground and it is estimated that 200,000 homes and over a thousand schools have been inundated. 300,000 hectares of rice are also believed to have been lost and 241 km of roads in the country are estimated to be affected by the flooding and debris washed onto the roads.
While the floodwaters have been receding, Typhoon Nari, which passed through neighbouring Vietnam and Laos last week, may have exacerbated the flooding; further prolonging the situation in Cambodia.
