'We Are Neighbours': Fleeing Thais and Cambodians Call for Peace
- Fighting along the frontier between Thailand and Cambodia escalated from Thursday through Saturday, prompting the evacuation of more than 170,000 residents from areas near Kanthararom in Thailand.
- The fighting escalated from a longstanding border dispute involving 800 kilometers of territory and contested ancient temple sites, worsened after a gun battle killed one Cambodian soldier in late May.
- Hundreds of evacuees, including 56-year-old Sai Boonrod sheltering at a temple, described former neighborly relations as "like siblings" but acknowledged rising violence and online misinformation fueling hatred.
- The Thai government has authorized a financial aid package that provides one million baht to the relatives of those who died and tiered compensation based on injury severity for the wounded, while officials have been sent to the affected provinces to coordinate relief and support efforts.
- Calls for peace grew amid increasing resentment and social media hostility, with regional leaders like President Marcos Jr. urging dialogue, adherence to international law, and offering assistance to restore calm.
