Phnom Penh’s Boeung Kak Lake Villagers Face Extreme Flooding

Heavy rains on Monday October 12, 2010, have flooded the homes of at least 1,000 people in the Boeung Kak lake area of Phnom Penh, where residents say the pumping of sand and mud into the lake by a city developer has diminished a natural drainage system. Most have now temporarily evacuated their flooded homes. (Photos by Heng Reaksmey, VOA Khmer)
