Phnom Penh

One of the thousands forcedly evicted from the Boeung Kak Lake, Mouen fell out of a palm tree while collecting leaves to rebuild the shack where he was living, located in the outskirts of Phnom Penh. The fall nearly killed him and he was left unattended at a public hospital for almost a week: he didn’t have money to pay the bribes required by the doctors. Thanks to the support of a local NGO, Mouen had surgery at another hospital. This picture was one of the winners at the 2015 Capture Corruption Photography Competition, by Transparency International.
