The relocation site is about
20 kilometers from their previous homes in Phnom Penh.
.... far from employment and schools in an isolated rice field
Plastic sheets and tents were
distributed .... the site still lacks water, electricity and basic
systems for normal living
There have been deaths from
dehydration and some have returned to the city already ... many
are trying to resume their lives under very difficult circumstances.
Next:
Many "renters" from
Bassac did not receive land at the relocation site and remain stranded
in Bassac awaiting the next eviction from their temporary shelters.
