Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered military doctors to vaccinate the residents of Phnom Penh’s so-called red zones, areas of the city locked down amid a recent surge of COVID-19 infections, but residents forced to stay at home say their greatest need is food.
Many have been confined to their homes for weeks without work, and have been blocked from earning money and going out to make purchases need to feed their families, one resident told RFA’s Khmer Service on Wednesday.
“I am begging the government to help us,” said Mong Koeun, who lives with his family in a rented room in Phnom Penh’s Sangkat Stung Meanchey district.
