More than half a million people have fled their homes in Cambodia after two weeks of deadly border fighting with neighboring Thailand, the country's interior ministry said.

The total figure is stated to be 518,611 people who had to flee to avoid, among other things, rockets and airstrikes from Thailand, according to the ministry.

Thailand has previously stated that around 400,000 people in the country have been forced to flee due to the conflict.
