Evicted people wail for help

A group of several dozens of families who were forced out of their houses in the Dey Krahorm community, located in the heart of Phnom Penh city, and brought over to Srah Po village, Phnom Bat commune, neat Oudong hills, Kandal province, are now facing hardship. At their new place, these poor villagers have no jobs to provide them with a living. Almost all of them had to pawn their land titles to get money to live, to run their small businesses, or just to find a cure for their sick children.
