43 Cambodian workers injured in truck accident
truck accident
Phnom Penh - ArabToday
A truck transporting garment workers to their factory overturned in southeastern Cambodia on Friday, leaving 43 people injured, the Labor Ministry said.
The accident occurred at 7:20 a.m. local time (0020 GMT) in Svay Rieng province due to vehicle malfunction.
"Forty-three workers got injured, including eight in severe condition," the ministry said in a statement.
The injured had been rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment, and the National Social Security Fund would cover their medical expenses.
Transporting workers in open trucks to and from factories is common in Cambodia. Last Friday, some 29 garment workers were wounded when their truck collided with a pick-up truck in northern Kampong Chhnang province.
The country's 6.5-billion-U.S. dollar garment industry is composed of some 1,000 factories, employing around 750,000 workers.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
