Thai family prays for son’s release from Hamas captivity in Gaza

A Thai family in Udon Thani is praying for the safe return of their son, Watchara Sriaoun, who is believed to be held captive by Hamas in Gaza. Watchara, one of six Thai nationals taken by Hamas during an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, had been working in Israel to support his family financially. His mother, Wiwwaro, expresses her desperation for his return, as the family has been left with few updates. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has sought international help to secure the release of the remaining Thai hostages.
