Two weeks after the armed clashes on Feb. 4-7 between Cambodian and Thai troops over the border disputed area near the 11th century Preah Vihear temple, a quarter of the evacuees have returned home, said officials on Friday.
Some 800 families out of the total 3,200 evacuated families have returned home, Nhim Vanda, the first vice-president of the Cambodian National Committee for Disaster Management, told Xinhua on Friday.
“They still worry about their safety, but they miss their houses, crops and animals, so they begin to return home,” he said.
The evacuees fled from their houses in Chorm Kasan district nearby the areas of the armed clashes on Feb. 4-7 and were taking refuge in a camp in Kulen district — some 90 kilometers from Preah Vihear Temple.
