Myanmar airlifted Thursday eight tons of emergency relief goods to Cambodia, which is suffering the same flood miseries for months as neighboring Thailand.
A military aircraft brought the relief goods consisting of noodles and bottled water to Phnom Penh's Airbase, according to Nhim Vanda, the first vice president of Cambodia's National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM).
Ambassador of Myanmar to Cambodia Cho Htun Aung said Myanmar is providing assistance in sympathy to the government and people of Cambodia.
About one-third of Cambodia, including 18 cities, have been submerged in flood waters since August. The disaster has killed 250 people and affected 1.5 million of the country's 15 million population. Damages to rice paddies and roads were estimated at $520 million, the NCDM said, according to Xinhua.

Ah coward Decho Hun Sen, Mr Sam Rainsy asks you to sue him at France court about you murdered Khmer people. Why don't you dare to do it as you have done at Cambodia court?
Being a strong man as well as Prime Minister of one country, you should not be coward to face the real justice at France court or International court. Unless, you are the real murderer in Cambodia that is the reason why you fear of Mr Sam Rainsy at real and fair justice court.
Decho Hun Sen rubbed Cambodian people well being, health care, dignity and sell Cambodia out to Vietnam in cheap price as long as he can stay in power. Isn't true Samdach Decho Hun Sen?
How many Cambodian people lives have you killed in your life so far? Can you being honest telling the true?
As one Prime Minister of one country his job is bully his own people from talking about Paris Peace agreement 1991 and Vietnam take Cambodia area. Why?
Samdach Decho Hun Sen Why does you so scare of the truth? Why do you so scare of Mr Sam Rainsy when he asks you to sue him at France court? You are strong man as you claim in TV screen.
Samdach Decho Hun Sen shouldn't scare of Mr Sam Rainsy because Mr Sam Rainsy has no weapon mass destruction as you do. You are the murderer; you must be strong in facing with Mr Sam Rainsy at France court as Mr Sam Rainsy invited you to do so.
Samdach Decho billion dollars Hun Sen, PLease face Mr Sam Rainsy as Mr Sam Rainsy invited you through the world media. You used to win on Mr Sam Rainsy many times in Cambodia court of justice. There is no reason why you should be worry about...if you have never killed anyone in Cambodia. Isn’t it Decho Sen?
Cambodian people hope to see Samdach Decho Hun Sen will has gut as a leader or a man to sue Mr Sam Rainsy at France court as Mr Sam Rainsy invited Samdach decho many times through Radio and world media.
Be a man Decho Sen! One in your life be a man Decho Sen! Be a man to face Mr Sam Rainsy at France court and international court.
We are personal bodyguards of Samdach Decho would like to see Decho Hun Sen be a man with Mr Sam Rainsy at France Court. Otherwise, Samdach Decho is not worthy to protect because why do we have to die for protecting a traitor, a murderer, a blood sucker. Isn’t it true Samdach Decho Hun Sen? Do you agree with that?
Wow, I'm really surprise to get help from the government and people of Myanmar. It's nice to see that unity among ASEAN nations. Myanmar is not as fortunate as Thailand in terms of economic growth. But that doesn't stop them from helping her neighbor when needed. Good for them.
burma is a beautiful country and people similar to the people of cambodia and country of cambodia. and it is the huge country in land size. i like burma and cambodia to be good friends forever.
