Refugees Stay at Phnom Penh Hotel Cambodiana
In Phnom Penh refugees totaling about 3,000 occupy the Cambodian hotel built by royalty for luxury guests. They shelter in the lobby and ground floor galleries with no pay, while rooms and river views remain off limits. Many fled fighting around the city as Lon Nol rose to power, and they wait for an uncertain future living among straw mats and betel nut.
