PHNOM PENH: The Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation will temporarily suspend the cash program established during the Covid-19 pandemic to provide support for poor and vulnerable families, as well as the cash program for pregnant women and children under the age of two, for six days during the Khmer New Year, between 13-18 April 2022.
