MORE than 120 villagers have now been poisoned after drinking water contaminated with herbicides which flowed into a fresh water creek in Kampot, a doctor said yesterday.

Nob Neb, chief of the disease and emergency building at Chhouk district referral hospital said yesterday another 37 villagers from Trapaing Phlaing commune had been admitted, with symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting and dizziness.

Around 90 patients were admitted on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

“Their [condition] is not serious. They just got tired and dizzy”, Nob Neb said. “We have given them medicine tablets and injections”.

Pond-Poisoned Villagers Now Face Water Shortage

Villagers in Banteay Mean Chey province who were poisoned last month are now facing a water shortage, as they are avoiding a potentially toxic pond in favor of distant water sources.

Nearly 700 people from Malay village suffered skin rashes, diarrhea and double vision after drinking from a local pond.

Villagers are afraid to drink from the pond and now travel up to 5 kilometers to reach clean water, the Malay village chief told VOA.

Prices for bottles of water are increasing, and neighbors' wells are beginning to dry up, the village chief said.

The Malay story is just one example of how people worldwide sometimes struggle to obtain potable water, as World Water Day approaches. Not every Cambodian village has a poisoned pond, but many lack wells.

"Actually, the money to dig wells comes from foreign aid," Minister of Urban Development Lu Laysreng told VOA. "Our department does not have the money to dig tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands wells."

"When we travel to rural areas, the people complain about a lack of water and say that Cambodia still needs clean water and hygiene," World Bank spokesman Bou Sareoun said.

More villagers from a Banthey Mean Chey town have fallen ill after drinking toxic water from a local pond.

Provincial Clinic Director Dr. Chhum Vannarith says about 50 more people have exhibited symptoms from dizziness to vomiting to lethargy and have sought treatment.

No deaths have been reported from the mass poisoning, which affected more than 400 people in Malay town last week. The source of the supposed toxin has not yet been found, but health officials say tests have been sent to Japan and results are expected next week.

Prince Norodom Ranariddh’s new party has formed a committee to help control a massive protest expected in the near future.

Norodom Ranariddh Party officials say 10,000 protestors, many of them party members, will stage a protest against the Phnom Penh Municipal Court before the April commune elections.

Prince Norodom Chakrapon will head the eight-member committee. The protest stems from allegations that Prince Norodom Ranariddh sold the headquarters of his old party, Funcinpec.

Hundreds struck by mystery poisoning in Cambodia

PHNOM PENH (AFP) - Hundreds of people have been struck down with what medical officials say is a mass poisoning in a former Khmer Rouge stronghold in Cambodia's northwest.

At least six of the more than 600 affected have lost their sight, while the others remain ill with stomach cramps, fever and diarrhea after drinking from a nearby pond that is the main source of water, provincial health department officials told AFP.

"The pond is important for their daily life because it's the only water resource," said Dr Chhum Vannarith.

"They are now facing difficulties due to the lack of water," he added.

It remains unclear why the villagers became ill. Chhum Vannarith said it could have been a natural occurrence, but did not rule out the possibility that someone had poisoned the pond.

Phu Sitha, the chief of the afflicted Bos Thom village, some 400 kilometers (248 miles) northwest of the capital Phnom Penh, told AFP that people have used water from the pond since 1997.

This was the first time they had had any problems, he said of the some 180 families living in the impoverished area, which is home to many former Khmer Rouge fighters.

"It's the first time in our history ... now villagers don't have enough water to use or even drink, which may affect their health," he said.

Hundreds of ducks, which also use the pond, appear unaffected, he said.
