Struggling Vietnamese Cambodians receive aid amid COVID-19 pandemic

ABO/NDO – About 60 poorest families of Vietnamese-Cambodians in Preah Sihanouk province on October 11 received relief aid, worth some US$20 each.

In early October, the southwestern region of Cambodia was struck by prolonged torrential rains, making Vietnamese Cambodians in Preah Sihanouk, who were already affected by COVID-19, struggle even harder.

Thanking the donors for their donation, Vietnamese Consul General Vu Ngoc Ly said their kind-hearted gesture would provide motivation for the poor families in times of hardship.

According to Tran Van Nam, Chairman of the Khmer-Vietnamese Association in Preah Sihanouk, most of Vietnamese people living in the province have been given COVID-19 booster shots.
