Severe flooding in Cambodia has caused widespread displacement and agricultural damage across ten provinces. Initially, the National Committee for Disaster Management reported that 25,561 families were affected, with over 2,900 families forced to evacuate. Officials noted that the flooding was driven by localized heavy rainfall rather than the Mekong River overflowing.

By the end of September, the scale of the disaster increased significantly. The number of affected families rose to more than 44,000, with particularly heavy impacts in the north-western Battambang province, where floodwaters reached all 14 cities and districts. Total rice field inundation grew to 35,612 hectares. Local residents described the severity of the flooding as “unprecedented compared to the last 30 years.”
