The recent crackdown on online scam centers has resulted in over 7,000 individuals from various countries being held in Mae Sot, Thailand. This operation, coordinated by Thailand, Myanmar, and China, follows a high-level meeting between Thai and Chinese leaders. Many of these individuals were lured into online scams and are now facing dire conditions. The strain on resources in Thailand is leading to logistical challenges in repatriating these victims and increasing fears of a humanitarian crisis amid the government's efforts to dismantle the scams.
"The ability to get them over to Thailand and process them and house them and feed them would be impossible for most governments."
"Amy Miller states these issues are unprecedented, highlighting the overwhelming task faced by Thai authorities."
"There is a growing fear of a humanitarian crisis as logistics for repatriation continue to be addressed by involved governments."
"The crackdown involves cutting off essential services in Myanmar to combat the operations of these scam centers along the border."
