At least 77 Cambodian people have been killed by lightening this year in Cambodia; most of them are the Cambodian citizens living in rural areas. In comparison, the lightning toll is higher than landmine, only nine.
Traditionally, it is believed that when someone is strike by lightning, covering the victims with a white cloth will help them recover. The people were hit by lightning, especially during the rainy season.
Piseth posted his blog entitled “The Cruel Lightning in Rainy Season†and he expresses his doubt:
“I wonder whether it is because of the natural disaster or the loose of natural resources and as a result it brings this phenomenon? Maybe, it is because of the growing and expansion of magnetic area with all the cable and stuffs like that around the living area that’s why it causes such problems. In order to prevent or to avoid something like this happen then individual should be aware of that and should not go under the big tree or big light stand during the raining and not using any mechanic tools while it is raining. Prevention better than treatment!â€
More lightning strikes could be because of more storms, broader storms, or storms that are higher in the sky than usual; Don MacGornam was quoted by the Cambodia Daily.
