Thousands in limbo on Thai-Myanmar border after scam centre crackdown
Thousands of foreigners are stranded on the Thailand-Myanmar border after a multinational crackdown on online scam-operating centres, leaving many without access to basic sanitation and health facilities. Authorities from China, Thailand, and Myanmar have been working together to dismantle these compounds, but their efforts have resulted in hundreds of workers being left in limbo. The situation is causing great distress among the victims, who are now facing a second round of exploitation.
- The international community's response to this crisis highlights the need for greater cooperation and coordination in addressing human trafficking and exploitation.
- What role can technology play in monitoring and tracking the movement of these individuals once they are repatriated, and ensuring that they receive adequate support and protection?
