Khmer People Affected By The Border Conflict
From July 24, 2025, military clashes continued for five days along the Cambodia-Thailand border. The Khmer people, who throughout history have endured the tragedies of war, were once again engulfed by the ravages of conflict and stripped of their daily lives. According to local reports and other sources, Thai airstrikes and exchanges of artillery fire between the two sides resulted in at least 40 deaths and the displacement of about 300,000 people, marking the worst bilateral situation in recent years.
