Hundreds of families in Banteay Meanchey province were evacuated from their homes yesterday due to severe flooding, with authorities warning that more than 1,000 additional families may have to be rescued if torrential rains continue as expected over the course of next week. The rains that have hit Thailand’s Sa Kaeo province and caused the flooding along the Cambodian border are predicted to continue over the next four to five days, the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology said in a statement yesterday, warning provincial authorities to move people threatened by floodwaters to higher ground. … The Cambodian Red Cross has already provided 700 tents for the 500 evacuated families, according to Mr. Oeun [Banteay Meanchey provincial governor], who added that he had requested more emergency supplies in case of further evacuations. …
