Cambodia: Hundreds dead in stampede

Written by Super User 26 Nov 2010

Hundreds died and hundreds more were injured in a stampede at water festival celebrations in Phnom Penh. 339 people have been confirmed dead and 329 injured. The Prime Minister said, ‘This needs to be investigated more, it is the biggest tragedy since the Pol Pot regime,’ There will be a national day of mourning on Thursday. Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith said the stampede happened because ‘one million people’, many of whom were leaving, became ‘scared of something.’ In October at a Christian conference the Lord said there would be a shaking of the region and many Christians in Cambodia believe the latest tragic disaster at the annual water festival is one more shaking that is taking place.

Pray: that tcause will be found and that the 'shaking' will bring many into the Kingdom.
