From July 24, 2025, military clashes continued for five days along the Cambodia-Thailand border. 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. The conflict flared up again in December, forcing over 500,000 Cambodians to flee and resulting in the deaths of more than 110 people. Throughout history, the Khmer people have endured the tragedies of war, and once again they were engulfed by the ravages of conflict and stripped of their daily lives.
