Escaping the Crossfire
Imagine waking up to the sound of explosions and gunfire—this is the reality for villagers along the Thailand-Cambodia border.

With the border sealed, vital supplies like food and medicine are running low. Schools and temples have become makeshift shelters, but aid groups warn the situation is reaching a breaking point. 'We’re running out of everything,' said a local volunteer. 🏚️
The conflict, rooted in a long-standing border dispute, has flared up repeatedly over the years. For now, thousands remain trapped in a tense wait for peace—or at least a ceasefire.
