As of Wednesday evening, the skies in Koh Kong remained cloudy, with rain continuing to fall throughout the region, as the ministry predicted further downpours.

Koh Kong governor Mithona Phouthorng said floodwaters in the nearby rivers in Mondol Seima, Koh Kong and Thma Bang districts were already receding, albeit slowly, while water in the Sre Ambel district canal remained at a dangerous level.

Phouthorng said flooding had impacted four districts and inundated more than 350 houses, with Sre Ambel district the worst affected as water levels at the Sre Ambel canal continued to rise on Wednesday evening.

“We evacuated the affected people to higher ground and brought supplies such as tents, and food and water to support them,“ she said.

“Right now we are coordinating with the Committee for Disaster Management and the Cambodian Red Cross to help the victims.”https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/serious-flooding-across-country
