Flooding started more than one month ago and monks along some pagodas – such as those in Vichitraram Pagoda in Kien Svay district, Kandal province – are facing difficulties when they have to leave their pagodas. With flood overtaking their housing, they can no longer travel out to beg for alms as they usually do. Furthermore, attendants to these pagodas also face difficulties in coming to the pagodas as well since their houses are flooded the same time the pagodas do.

Shame to yourself you Dumb ASS.
i think the flood is a reminder for all of our human being to never forget how to live with nature. sometimes, you got to live with nature; it's called survival of the fittest. know about darwinism, the evolution of nature and the survival of the fittest. how could human not know how to survive, you must improvise during hard time, ok!
human life is full of struggle everyday. human struggle since the begginning of time, you know!
