Weeks into a vicious border war that has dozens of people and displaced roughly half a million, Thailand and Cambodia agreed to a 72-hour cease-fire on Saturday.

The 72-hour cease-fire could pave the way for an end to the fighting, which has killed dozens and displaced thousands over nearly three weeks.

Thailand and Cambodia agreed to an immediate ceasefire for the second time in six months after the latest round of border clashes killed dozens of soldiers and civilians, while displacing more than half a million others.
