This photo taken on August 24, 2026 shows a man riding a motor-cart along a street in a "waiting village" in Svay Chek district in Banteay Meanchey province. More than 3,000 identical houses rise in a grid from a Cambodian plain not far from the Thai border, but most of the residents, displaced by conflict, just want to return home. The government built the so-called "waiting village" for Cambodian families forced to flee last year's deadly border clashes with Thailand.
