AKP Phnom Penh, August 19, 2025 --  

The European Union is providing €700,000 (approximately US$816,000) in emergency humanitarian funding to support people most affected by the recent conflict along the Cambodia-Thailand border. 

According to a news release of the EU Delegation to Cambodia AKP received this evening, the funding will support communities most affected by the conflict, which has led to significant displacement. 

The EU's assistance will support interventions in multipurpose cash assistance (MPCA), mental health and psychological support (MHPSS) and displacement tracking (DTM) for a maximum 6-month period, it added.

This emergency humanitarian funding will complement ongoing support provided through partners in the region, said the source, stressing that earlier this year, the EU allocated €76 million in humanitarian aid to address the needs of people affected by the main crises in South and Southeast Asia. 

“All EU interventions are based on thorough needs assessments and are delivered in full adherence to the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence,” read the news release.
