The Thai Foreign Ministry has set a target to evacuate at least 400 Thais from Israel each day through all possible channels, according to Kanchana Patarachoke, director-general of the Information Department and spokesperson for the ministry, today (Friday).

 

The number of Thais who have expressed a wish to fly back to Thailand has increased to 6,778, while 85 others have insisted on staying in Israel. The Thai death toll in the Hamas attack remains 21. 16 Thai nationals are believed to be being held captive by Hamas and 14 were injured, including some who have already arrived back in Thailand.

 

Kanchana said that about 99% of all foreigners, including Thai nationals, have been evacuated from the “red zones” by Israeli forces.
