Summary
Thousands of workers freed from Cambodian cyber scam compounds say they are now stranded without shelter, money or transport home.
Cambodia’s crackdown targeted scam centers linked to human trafficking, pulling people out of the compounds but leaving many without immediate support after release.
The gap has turned the raids into a humanitarian crisis, with former workers stuck far from their families and lacking a clear path to return.
