Geneva (ICRC) - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is concerned by the renewed flare-up of the conflict at the Cambodia-Thailand border.
The ICRC urgently calls for restraint and de-escalation. All parties must uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law, which are intended to limit harm to the population, especially loss of civilian life and damage to civilian objects including essential infrastructure. Those who are wounded must be allowed to get the care they need.
The ICRC continues its bilateral, confidential dialogue with both parties while closely monitoring the humanitarian consequences of the ongoing clashes. We stand ready to support National Red Cross Societies and concerned government agencies in providing necessary assistance to those affected..
