Cambodia: The extent of the floods in pictures

On October 30, 2011

These used to be rice fields. This is north of Phnom Penh, on the way to Skon North of Phnom Penh, after crossing the Preik Kdam bridge. There used to be a road here. The water has washed it away.
On the road from Phnom Penh to Kampong Thom. The villagers have made huts for the cows as they no longer have grounds to graze in. Notice the boats crossing the road.

For a reflection on the effects of the floods on the people, read “In Cambodia, floods have scattered the hope of the people”.
