The war in Cambodia is now over land. According to Amnesty International, more than 150,000 Cambodians are living in fear of eviction from their homes. To make way for new housing developments, the government is forcibly evicting hundreds of thousands of slum dwellers from their homes – claiming they are illegal squatters. But the United Nations says authorities are violating the country's 2001 land law and international human rights. As Rebecca Henschke reports, evicted families are dumped in camps outside the city.
