Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Meanwhile, more terrorists wiped out. The IDF says it eliminated a cell of terror operatives who launched several mortars at troops during operations in the northern Gaza Strip today. According to the military, several mortars were fired at troops of the 401st Armored Brigade, without causing any injuries. After just one minute, the troops identified the cell behind the attack, which had withdrawn to a building. The troops then called in an airstrike on the building, the IDF adds. -

What's the dullest place in Thailand?
Lanta is very dull, but tolerable in high season. The horrendous roads and unsightly main drag don’t do it any favors. Hua Hin’s alright, and at least looks okay. People say CM is dull (?), but that is typically from Pattaya types so doesn’t count… the latter, while not dull, well into ‘dump’ category. Depends what you’re after I guess, but PLok, Sukothai town, Chiang Rai and Koh Samet are proper boooring. -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
We are talking about "an expulsion that is highly, highly questionable, The above from another UN official Also from a UN official, more lies. Claiming there are 10,000 trucks of aid waiting............ We've been patient with your media circus, but your lies just keep coming: There are no 10 thousand trucks waiting to go into Gaza. What there are, are hundreds of trucks' worth of aid the @UN hasn't picked up from the Gazan side over the last few days, after we gave you plenty of routes you can use to safely distribute the aid throughout the entire Gaza. You are using a humanitarian difficulty and causing a worse one, one that isn't serving your "humanitarian principles". -

Report Thailand Ramps Up Covid Drug Production Amid Rising Cases
File photo for reference only The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) of Thailand is ramping up the production of the antiviral drugs favipiravir and molnupiravir. This comes as Covid-19 infections are on the rise due to the highly contagious JN1 strain. Despite mild symptoms, this strain is spreading rapidly, even among those with prior infections, reports GPO director Mingkwan Suphanpong. The surge in cases is attributed to public gatherings and the ongoing rainy season, with Covid-19 now considered an endemic disease in Thailand. In a recent report, from May 18 to May 24, officials recorded 53,597 new Covid-19 cases and five additional deaths. This brings this year's total fatalities to 46 in the country. Since early May, around 1.75 million favipiravir pills and 3.36 million molnupiravir capsules have been produced. To meet the increasing demand, the GPO has expedited the distribution process. Medicines have been dispatched to 13 hospitals in Bangkok and surrounding provinces as of May 24, and to 315 medical facilities nationwide by Monday. Further deliveries are scheduled for Wednesday and early next week. The GPO has also secured extra raw materials to boost drug production and ensure readiness for any emergencies. Adjustments in production will occur based on prevailing conditions, it stated. Health officials recommend the public continue wearing masks in crowded places, maintain hand hygiene, and refrain from touching their faces. Immediate medical attention is advised if symptoms escalate. Virology expert Yong Poovorawan projects that Covid-19 cases this year may surpass last year’s total. Nonetheless, the disease's severity is on the decline, leading to fewer fatalities and encouraging patients to opt for home treatment. He anticipates that the current Covid surge will peak with the start of the new school term and taper off from late June through July. He also warns of potential influenza and other respiratory viruses post-Covid outbreaks from July to November. Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin assured the public that medicine and supplies are adequate, stating there are no plans for school closures, merely health screenings. However, he cautioned that vulnerable groups still face higher risks. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-28
