Poor sanitation on Cambodia's floating villages

6.3 million people out of a total population of 14.9 million Cambodians are unable to access clean drinking water, the majority of them living in poverty and in rural locations. Unicef reports high incidences of diarrheal diseases alone account for one fifth of the deaths of children age five and under in Cambodia, and an estimated 10,000 overall deaths annually, largely owing to lack of sanitation and poor hygiene practices.
