Aid organization Nation Group inaugurates community kitchen for evacuees along the Thai-Cambodia border
In the wake of the ongoing Thai-Cambodia border conflict, The Nation Group has stepped up its emergency relief efforts, establishing relief kitchens across three affected provinces: Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani. These kitchens provide food and aid support to displaced civilians in the affected region [3].
The Nation Group's efforts have extended beyond these kitchens, with direct aid delivery to evacuees in border areas, particularly in Surin province where fighting has caused significant civilian displacement [2][4]. This expanded response reflects a coordinated effort to support those affected amid ongoing border tensions and military confrontations.
The relief effort at the Surin evacuation centre received a boost with the assistance of Thai Parcel Public Company Limited, which provided transportation services [5]. The donation hub in Kap Choeng district, Surin, serves as a distribution hub for materials destined for frontline soldiers and village security volunteers protecting high-risk communities [6].
Over 130,000 people remain displaced across four border provinces due to the conflict [1]. Businesses, foundations, and individual citizens are contributing resources to support both military operations and civilian welfare during the extended displacement period.
Shine, from the Nation Foundation, emphasized the foundation's commitment to continued support, regardless of duration [4]. The media conglomerate's involvement highlights the broader mobilisation of Thai civil society in response to the humanitarian crisis.
In Surin province, where the disaster situation has been declared with no timeline announced for residents' safe return to their homes, two sacks of dog food were provided to care for pets evacuated alongside their owners at the evacuation centre [2].
The Nation Group's emergency relief response strategy emphasizes decentralized, on-the-ground support in multiple provinces hardest hit by the conflict, aiming to meet urgent humanitarian needs of displaced populations [3][4].
