Dhaka, July 25 -- Fighting between Thailand and Cambodia entered its second day on Friday, forcing tens of thousands to flee and raising concerns of a wider conflict.

The U.N. Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis later Friday in New York. Malaysia, which chairs the ASEAN bloc that includes both nations, has called for a ceasefire and offered to mediate.

According to Thailand's Health Ministry, over 58,000 people have been relocated to temporary shelters in four Thai provinces along the border. Cambodia reported that more than 4,000 residents near the frontier have also evacuated.

At least 14 people have been killed in Thailand, while Cambodia recorded its first fatality on Friday.
