share PHNOM PENH — Small food-related protests took place in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district, as residents in red zones have started to complain about closed markets and no access to food aid. Dozens of residents in Meanchey district’s Phneat village, which has been designated a red zone for the last 12 days, came out of their homes Thursday evening to call for food donations to get them through the next five days, when the city will reassess the three-color zone system. Residents hung banners from barricades used to block the village, reading “my village is starving.” Deputy Phnom Penh Governor Nuon Pharath attempted to calm the crowd and asked them to return to their homes.
