AKP Phnom Penh, July 07, 2025 --

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is collaborating closely with Cambodia’s Ministry of Health to deliver essential medical supplies and medicines to civilians displaced by the Cambodian-Thai border tensions.

Coordinator of the WHO Global Malaria Programme Dr. Pascal Ringwald highlighted the organisation’s commitment during his visit on Aug. 6 to refugee camps currently sheltering thousands of Cambodians affected by the armed clash.

Dr. Pascal Ringwald visited makeshift camps located in Oddar Meanchey, Siem Reap, and Preah Vihear provinces to assess the health needs of displaced communities and coordinate further support.

To expose the humanitarian situation and Cambodia’s genuine desire for peace, the government and local authorities facilitated a high-level visit to the camps of representatives from 11 embassies and 15 United Nations agencies, including WHO, and other relevant international organisations to witness the impact of the conflict on innocent civilians.

Dr. Pascal Ringwald, as well as other international delegates, expressed strong support for a lasting ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand.
