flag Cambodia shut down 200 scam centers, arrested 173 suspects, and deported 11,000 workers, but aid groups say victims face dire conditions with insufficient support.

flag Cambodia has shut down nearly 200 scam centers in a major crackdown on transnational fraud, arresting 173 senior suspects and deporting 11,000 workers since late 2025. flag The operation, intensified after the U.S. indicted and China extradited a China-born alleged scam leader, led to mass escapes from compounds near the Thai and Vietnamese borders, prompting a growing humanitarian crisis. flag Victims, many of whom were held in harsh conditions, are arriving in Phnom Penh with little support, overwhelming the Caritas shelter, which now operates with a third of its former staff and budget. flag Despite government claims of progress, aid groups report systemic failures in providing shelter, medical care, and repatriation assistance, leaving thousands stranded.
