Nearly one million people have been displaced by escalating border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, many of them women and children. Villagers report losing homes, land and livelihoods as both governments claim the same territory. Thailand says its operations aim to reduce risks to civilians, while Cambodia accuses Thai forces of seizing land. Decades after the Khmer Rouge forced many to settle along the border, communities on both sides face renewed hardship.
