The National Disaster Management Authority of Cambodia will donate 1,250 U.S. dollars for each family of the five Cambodian victims of Monday's air crash, a relative of the victims told Xinhua on Wednesday.
The donation will be used to arrange funerals for them, said Ieng Sririthy, whose cousin Sut Roatha Proseur, 23, died in the incident.
Sririthy said these, while four vehicles carried the corpses to the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital in Phnom Penh.
All the dead bodies of the 22 victims were in the hospital now, officials said.
Cambodia's helicopters spotted the wreckage of the crashed aircraft at around 07:00 a.m. on Wednesday on Mountain Bokor, Kampot province.
There were no survivors out of the 22 people on board the crashed plane, government spokesman and Information Minister Khieu Kanharith confirmed on Wednesday.
Among the people on board, 16 were tourists, with 13 from South Korea and three from Czech, and the rest were crew members.
Five out of the six crew members were Cambodians.
The U4 241 Flight from Cambodia's PMT Air flying from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville crashed on the mountain at around 10:50 a.m. on Monday, making the worst air accident in Cambodia in the past decade.
