Floods in Cambodia

Strong typhons and heavy rains caused severe floods in the South East Asia. Cambodia experienced the worst flooding in over a decade with an overflood of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers affecting 17 of 24 provinces. The flood water in many provinces have been rised both from heavy rain and from the impacts of flooding from neighbouring counties. Thailand and Vietnam also experienced heavy flooding. There are currently more than one million people affected (172 death) and at least 100,000 people displaced, but numbers are expected to increase. More than 10 percent of agricultural land has been inundated and the rice crop will most likely be lost.
