Report
— Deutsche Presse Agentur
Phnom Penh (dpa) - Prime Minister Hun Sen warned on Tuesday that Cambodia faces a food shortage of about 88,000 tonnes of rice for the year 2003.

"I think we can solve this problem as we are preparing rice for hungry people," Hun Sen told reporters after presiding over a National Disaster Control Committee seminar.

Rain eases forecast Cambodian food shortages

Report
— Agence France-Presse
PHNOM PENH, Nov 11 (AFP) - Recent rains and the delivery of emergency rice rations to the countryside should stave-off immediate food shortages in Cambodia, officials said Monday.

Nhim Vanda, spokesman for the National Committee for Disaster Management, said this year's rice harvest had been bolstered by unseasonal rain which would help the government to cope with food demand.

However, he added that the threat of longer term food shortages, going into next year, remained and would be reassessed after the harvest.

"What we called urgent aid is now
