Thursday, February 12, 2009
Preah Vihear Province: More than 200 families of Cambodian people in the area of Preah Vihear temple are facing food shortage and they are calling for food. As long as the border dispute is not solved, those citizens live in fear. The living in fear took place since Thai troops had invaded Cambodian territory on July 15th, 2008 and after the armed crash between Cambodian and Thai troops on October 15, 2008. The villagers in Preah Sat village said that they were living in hardship after the border dispute. Before they made money through tourists, but now tourists do not visit the temple because they worry about their own security.
