My twin brother, Robert Ashe, who has died aged 69 of pancreatic cancer just five weeks after diagnosis, spent most of his working life supporting refugees in south-east Asia, including on the Thailand-Cambodia border, where he helped people to flee Cambodia’s murderous Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970s.
He also he set up what became known as the Landbridge project, taking food, seeds and agricultural tools into Cambodia in the wake of the Khmer Rouge’s overthrow.
