Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen (pictured) said Monday that floods that affects the country in recent weeks has caused more damages than Typhoon Ketsana last year.

Delivering speech to graduate students, Hun Sen said preliminary reports showed that floods that caused by heavy rains in the country have affected more damages than Typhoon Ketsana last year that hit several provinces.

He said at least four people have been killed by floods and at least 9,000 hectares of rice fields have been damaged.

But, he said total loss and damages caused by floods are being figured out.

Typhoon Ketsana hit Cambodia last September and the estimates of 100,000 people were affected by the floods and 15,000 households were in need of food assistance.

Keo Vy, communication officer of National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) said this year's floods have hit 12 provinces and a city.
