PHNOM PENH: The border conflict in Cambodia has displaced over 153,000 people, mostly children, with 31,000 still living in 47 overcrowded sites, facing poor sanitation and disease risks. UN agency Unicef is calling for contributions to support them.

It noted that over 870,000 returnees from Thailand also need urgent aid, while 94 schools and 21 health centres remain closed, impacting thousands. Against this backdrop, Unicef Cambodia is urgently appealing for funds to address the crisis and support long-term recovery.
