Phnom Penh - Fourteen people died in Cambodia when tropical storm Ketsana swept through the country earlier this week, Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said Friday. "I don't expect there will be more fatalities from the storm," Khieu Kanharith told the German Press Agency dpa.
The head of the National Committee for Disaster Management, Peou Samy, said another 43 people were injured, some seriously.
He said the wife of Prime Minister Hun Sen would visit the worst-affected province of Kampong Thom on Friday in her capacity as the head of the Cambodian Red Cross to hand out relief supplies to victims.
Other agencies - including Oxfam and World Vision - are also planning to distribute aid in the coming days.
