Cambodia: Final report shows that a collapsed building in Kep kills 36 workers and injures 23; children among those confirmed dead

"Death toll jumps in Cambodia building collapse", 5 January 2020

According to the BTWUC's survey of the site, 59 people were living there including children.

"Six to seven children who stayed in the building died," Chhlonh said. "A pregnant woman died, and a baby of maybe between three and seven months died with the mother."

There are an estimated 200,000 construction workers in Cambodia, most of them unskilled, reliant on day wages and without union protection, according to the International Labour Organization…

Kep Governor Ken Satha said that the owners of the building, a Cambodian couple, had been detained for questioning as Prime Minister Hun Sen defended the government response and said that no officials in Kep province would be fired…

Worker Ei Kosal told … that he, his wife and two other women were having a meal on site when the structure collapsed…
