The European Community (EC) will provide some
5.11 million U.S. dollars for Cambodia to maintain food security for its disadvantaged people, said an EC press release received here on Tuesday.

Non-governmental organizations for poverty and hunger reduction will use the fund to guarantee food supply for rural residents who are short of necessary livelihood, EC's country director Rafael Dochao Moreno said in the release.

"EC aims to help the most fragile people to survive the current global financial crisis," he added.

According to the release, the grant will mainly benefit the people in provinces of Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear, Ratanakkiri and Mondolkiri.
