The escalation of the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand has caused a severe displacement crisis, with the number of evacuated Cambodian civilians approaching 400,000, according to a press release from the Cambodian Ministry of the Interior. The conflict has entered its eighth consecutive day, and the magnitude of the displaced population underscores the direct impact of the territorial dispute on civilians. Demographics of the displacement: The total number of displaced persons is nearly 395,000. More than half of the evacuees are women (204,889). A significant portion of those affected are minors (95,949). The Undersecretary of State and spokesperson for the Cambodian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Maly Socheata, confirmed that the border conflict remains active, suggesting that the number of displaced persons could continue to grow as long as the military confrontation persists.
