More than 130,000 people have been evacuated from Thailand, with at least 15 dead, according to Thai authorities, following cross-border clashes with Cambodia. Fighting broke out on Thursday over a long-running border dispute between the neighbouring south-east-Asian countries.

Cambodia’s national government has not provided details of any casualties or evacuations of civilians but a local official in Oddar Meanchey province told Reuters that one civilian had been killed and five were wounded, with 1,500 families evacuated.

We would like to hear from people in both countries about the situation. How have you been affected and have you been evacuated?
