FLOOD SITUATION OVERVIEW

Since early September, Cambodia has experienced flooding along the Mekong River Basin and around the Tonle Sap Lake, which was triggered by heavy rainfall. According to the latest reports from Provincial Committees for Disaster Management, 238 communes in 62 districts in 10 provinces have been affected. Current reports indicate that flood waters from the Mekong River have receded in many affected areas, though flash floods have affected areas around the Tonle Sap Lake. The dashboard below summarizes the cumulative reported flood impact; however, it may not reflect the current situation, e.g., if displaced households returned home.
