“Ratanakiri has also been hit by flash floods, but we haven’t heard any reports of people in danger or houses that are inundated by water,” he said.

Inary Net, Deputy Governor of Koh Kong province, said that it “didn’t rain as much this morning (yesterday)” as a few days ago.

She said that the water in Russei Chrum and Chumneap communes has receded, and people have been sent back home. But authorities are still monitoring the weather and are ready to rescue people if the floods return.

“In Thmar Baing districts, 37 families and 20 hectares of farmland in Trapaing Chheu Trav and Koki Chrum villages were affected by floods,” she said.

She said that the families were evacuated to a safe place at Wat Seila Mony Kiri Rainsy in Russey Chrum commune, Thmar Baing district where they can stay until it’s safe to return home.
