    Cambodian children attend school in floating villages along the Tonle Sap lake via gas-powered boats, but rising fuel prices due to the Iran war are increasing transportation costs.

    The Iran war is forcing families to choose between school for their kids or survival

    The Iran war has caused spikes in gasoline prices, forcing poor families in Cambodia to choose between children's education and basic survival needs like food and fuel. This crisis is compounded by climate change affecting waterways like the Tonle Sap, leading many children to skip school or drop out entirely. The struggle affects multiple regions, including Vietnam, where high diesel costs impacted fishing livelihoods.
