Cambodian government said Thursday that 88 people, mostly in rural areas -- have died of lightning strikes.
Keo Vy, communication officer of National Committee of Disaster Management said that by the end of July, there were 88 people have died in lightning strikes.
However, he said, the figure is still less than that in the same period last year as 110 died of lightning incidents.
Keo Vy noted that Pursat province, located about 200 kilometers north of Phnom Penh was recorded with more victims than the other 23 provinces and cities throughout the country.
He said last year more than 20 victims reported from Pursat province alone.
By mid June this year, Cambodia recorded only 48 deaths by lightning.
For several occasions, Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has alerted and made an appeal to public to take more precaution, saying the lightning seemed fiercer in recent years.

The report file by the National Committee of Disaster Management showed that the total figure of deaths last year was recorded at 140 and 95 deaths were recorded in 2008.
Most of the victims were living in rural areas.

When does lightning strikes Hun Sen and His Cronies?.
May lightning Seek them!
This lightening is the punishment from the god because khmen steal Thai land and Hindu temples?
302 PM, don't be bad to Khmers, your father and your mother may have Khmer origin, Thais came from China, they have light skin, if you and your family members, you have dark skin, your are Khmer.
The numbers of death from lightning strike is higher than USA, which stands last year at 66.
6:03, Angkor Khmens did vanish many centuries ago. Kampucheans now are not originally Angkor Khmens. That what thai textbook teaches.

Ah Kwack! you next! Ah Hok landy is waiting!!!
Real Khmers LIVED in Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Khmers were NOT dark, we had mid-light skin, real YELLOW.
Indians make us Dark and Chineses make us Lighter.
All of living Cambodians own Khmer, Indian and Chinese genes.
Cambodians with dark skin because of Indian.
Cambodians with light skin because of Chinese.
All the Khmer people they're have Brown Skins ah Chinese they're have Yellow Skins and U.S. they're have Whites Skins,Ah Africa they're have Black skins. All the people that lives in S.E.A. if they're have Brown Skins they're all have Khmer genes.
