Thailand has relocated more than 100,000 residents from border areas amid intensifying clashes with Cambodia that have left at least 14 dead and prompted an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting. The UK has issued a travel warning for the region.
Thailand announced on 25 July that it had evacuated 100,672 residents from four border provinces due to ongoing military clashes with Cambodia, according to the Ministry of Interior.
A deputy spokesperson for Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health confirmed that, as of 21:00 on 24 July, at least 14 people had been killed and 46 others injured.
Cambodia has not yet released official casualty figures.
The situation prompted Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet to request an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), scheduled for 15:00 local time on Friday (25 July). The meeting will be held behind closed doors.
In light of the escalating conflict, the UK Foreign Office has issued an advisory urging British citizens to avoid non-essential travel to affected areas in both Thailand and Cambodia.
The clashes follow weeks of rising tensions along the two countries’ undemarcated border, which has been the source of repeated disputes and confrontations.
