83 survivors of typhoon Linda rescued in Cambodia

Eighty three survivors of Typhoon Linda have been rescued in Cambodia as the death toll from last weekend's storm climbs to 25.

However, local officials say at least 121-people are still missing.

The survivors, including 48-Thais, 29-Vietnamese and six Cambodians, were found on a small island near Cambodia's southern coast, where at least 20 bodies were also recovered.

Moves are underway to repatriate at least 23 of the Vietnamese survivors tomorrow.

In Vietnam, the death toll from the Typhoon has reached 235, with nearly two-and-a-half thousand people still missing.
