Chinese enterprises in Cambodia have donated $120,000 to the victims of a major stampede Monday night in Phnom Penh, the Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday.
"China and Cambodia enjoy a long-lasting friendship. We feel the same sorrow as the Cambodians do ... and we will do what we can to help them overcome the difficulties," Xinhua quoted Sun Yanqian, secretary-general of the Chinese Business Association in Cam-bodia, as saying in a special council meeting.
The death toll of the tragedy was revised down Thursday to 347 from 456 because some victims had been mistakenly counted twice, the Cambodian social affairs ministry said, according to AFP.
Initial findings from a probe released Wednesday suggested a combination of factors was to blame, AFP reported.
Phnom Penh's police chief, Touch Naruth, estimated that at least 7,000 people were on the eight-meter wide, 100-meter long bridge when the stampede happened, AFP reported.
"The deaths happened because the bridge was overcrowded and there was panic that the bridge was collapsing because it is hung by cables and was swaying," said Prum Sokha, who heads a panel investigating the tragedy.

Yes your comment is meaningful !
Khmer love Khmer.
Your Majesty Samdech Ta former King Norodom Sihanouk,
Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,
Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.
What we need is prevention methods, not to let this type of accident happen again in the future.
It also makes me very worried to see so much alcohol allowed to enter or be produced in our beloved Kingdom of Cambodia? What about “ YA BA “ and other types of DRUGS from Thailand and Vietnam?
Can His Majesty Samdech Ta and Samdech Hun Sen stop all sorts of drugs coming to Cambodia? The accident may not be related to drugs and alcohol but just some thing that I could not sleep peacefully from now on to the future, in the names sake of true Khmer citizen.
Can Samdech Hun Sen kindly ask all 5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants to peacefully return to Vietnam, so Koh Pich will not be too crowded more and more every day, every month and every year to come.
All Vietnamese illegal immigrants can easily come in and settle inside Cambodia even though they already have their own country Vietnam.
When Cambodia is too crowded, definitely we Khmer people can not go to settle inside Vietnam, can we?
Please Vietnamese, you said you came to rescue us from Pol Pot, and you don’t want to return home, it is not right according to 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, can all of you go back to your country now.
Vietnamese illegal immigrants, you see because 5 million of you are inside Cambodia, it makes us too crowded and we wasted our lives at Koh Pich without good reasons.
Your Vietnamese Communism expansionist mind in Cambodia, is to give an excuse to China mainland to occupy your Spratly Islands, Parcel Islands, the whole of your Eastern sea border and perhaps the Northern border sooner or later.
5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia, please go back home to defend your country from Chinese mighty economic invasion.
May I pray to God and the Lord Jesus Christ that those who have lost loved one will be comforted.
My condolences to all the victim's family.
Regards,

Chinese donated the biggest so far! Long Live China!
Dear China,
You're Cambodia true friend. In good times or bad times, you always stand by us. We can never say thank you enough, but please let us say again - THANK YOU!
Actually China donated 500,000 dollars!
http://www.upiasia.com/Top_News/World-News/2010/11/26/China-helps-victims-of-Cambodian-accident/UPI-53471290788516/
So all together China donated 620,000 dollars! I don't want anyone to say bad stuff to my father China! Long live China!
Chinese red cross donated another 50,000 so that totals to 670,000 dollars! Long live China!
4:37AM
$670,000 = Total donation from China.
$120,000 = according to Global Time.
If my math is correct, $550,000 is in Hun Sen's right front pocket?
9:53 ITs his left!
I just hope AH KWACK GIVE THAT MONEY TO THE VICTIMS!
