2,000 dead, $288 billion lost to top 10 climate disasters in 2024: Report
Monday, 30 December 2024 In 2024, the top 10 climate disasters inflicted over $288 billion in damages and claimed over 2,000 lives globally, with the US bearing nearly half the financial burden. South-east Asia accounted for over 40% of the casualties. The report highlights the disproportionate impact on lower-income countries and underscores the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels.
U.S. President Donald Trump claims he helped stop tensions between Thailand and Cambodia by threatening to block U.S. trade deals. He compared the situation to his past involvement in easing India-Pakistan conflict, saying he called both Southeast Asian leaders and warned that no trade would happen unless peace was restored. Trump stated, “By the time I got off, I think they want to settle now.” He said using trade to stop wars is an honor, suggesting that economic leverage can be a powerful diplomatic tool when applied decisively.

Fierce clashes erupted again between Thailand and Cambodia near the disputed Ta Kwai temple, marking the deadliest border conflict in over a decade. At least 33 people have died, including civilians, just hours after Thailand claimed a ceasefire had been “agreed in principle.” Trump, attempting to play peacemaker, said on Truth Social he spoke with Cambodian PM Hun Manet and planned to call Thailand’s acting leader.
However, violence surged again—casting doubt on his claims. Mass evacuations have followed: over 131,000 displaced in Thailand and 37,600 in Cambodia. The UN has expressed deep concern and offered to mediate. The roots of the clash lie in decades-old disputes over temple territories. Reports suggest both sides may have used banned cluster munitions. The crisis has drawn global attention and sparked fears of full-scale war in Southeast Asia.

Cambodia has closed its airspace over regions bordering Thailand following intense military clashes, citing a major threat to commercial aviation from heavy weapons. The country’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has instructed airlines to reroute flights away from the danger zone, especially between Siem Reap and Pailin, where Thai military operations have intensified. While international flights are not canceled, rerouted paths now avoid potentially volatile skies. SSCA spokesperson Sin Jansriwuttha highlighted risks posed by Thailand’s military escalation, warning that further restrictions could be enforced if conflict intensifies.
The airspace ban impacts key flight corridors from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, including routes from Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Cambodian authorities emphasize this is a preemptive safety measure based on lessons from global conflict zones, assuring that air travel remains operational—just more cautious. The situation remains fluid with potential for more stringent aviation controls.
