Authorities in Banteay Meanchey province’s Phnom Srok and Svay Chek districts are continuing to repair the houses of more than 100 families, after heavy rain and strong winds on the evening of March 27 caused injuries to at least six people and damaged 116 houses.
Cambodia will receive light to moderate rainfall from March 9 to 15. The unseasonal forecast is due to a high pressure system – formed over China – interacting with a low pressure system over Thailand. This comes just days after thunderstorms struck the country, killing one and damaging several houses and schools.
Officials from the Banteay Meanchey provincial water resources and agriculture departments have joined forces to pump water to nearly 1,000ha of dry-season rice in Mongkol Borei district in the face of water shortages.
Ministry of Environment officials are continuing a campaign to raise awareness about malaria among local communities and rangers in Kon Khleng Natural Protected Area and Ang Trapeang Thmor Wildlife Sanctuary in Poy Char commune of Banteay Meanchey province's Phnom Srok district.
