Local residents Thursday held an annual Buddhist ceremony to pray for rain to grow rice as their main crop. Cambodia recently received rain after its longest drought in the last four decades which has left about two-thirds of the country's 25 provinces short of water for drinking, rice planting, and other necessities.
