Cambodia/Thailand border crisis
Along Cambodia’s northern border, fighting has forced more than 100,000 people from their homes.
Children, older people and those with disabilities are among those evacuated to crowded camps. Many are sleeping in makeshift shelters. Food, clean water and privacy are scarce.
People are stunned by what has happened and afraid to return home until it is safe.
This crisis is evolving rapidly. The need is urgent. Your support will help families stay safe and cared for until they can return home.
Caritas works through trusted local partners to reach those most at risk.
We are focusing on the most vulnerable, including women-headed households, older people and children.
Your gift will help provide urgent essentials, including:
Emergency shelter
Access to basic shelter is essential, especially during the rainy season. We’re providing building material and other supplies.
Hygiene and sanitation supplies
Daily essentials that sustain life and restore hope.
Emergency food
Access to emergency food for families - especially milk for infants.
Our partners are there and ready to help.
Caritas partner, Development and Partnership in Action is a Cambodian NGO that has been supporting and empowering poor and vulnerable Cambodians, in rural areas since before the conflict. They were already present, with many projects in affected areas along the border with Thailand when the conflict started.
With their experience and connection to local authorities, they are well-placed to provide urgent aid to those that need it most. But your support is just as vital. Your gift helps them continue this essential work in times of urgent need.
Under challenging conditions, our local partners continue to deliver life-saving aid.
