A torrential storm and flash floods killed at least eight people, including six children, Cambodian officials said on Tuesday.
Three girls and a boy, aged between 14 and 18, were killed on Sunday when they were swept out to sea while swimming in a heavy storm in Preah Sihanouk province, in the southeast of the country, said the province's deputy police chief Yim Bunnath.
In nearby Kampot province, two men were killed by flash floods, said the province's deputy governor Soth Ya. Another 1,500 people were evacuated on Monday to higher ground, he said.
In Kampong Cham province in the east, a six-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl drowned on Sunday while swimming in a pond during heavy rain, the Khmer-language newspaper Rasmei Kampuchea reported on Tuesday.
Parts of the Cambodian countryside are now flooded because of seasonal monsoon rain.

To: Flood victims in Kompot Province and heavy storm in Sihanouk province,
If you need help for natural disaster, please go to ask government and CPP. Mu Sochua and SRP have no choice but can't help you because SRP is a poor party. Right now, we can't even have money to build our headquarter which has to move out from our current office in Phnom Penh. SRP has only money to promote political stunt and created rumours.
