US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
This is why the GHF food aid plan is needed: Palestinians block and empty dozens of UN food lorries in Gaza Strip Palestinians in Gaza have blocked and unloaded 77 food trucks, the UN World Food Programme said, as hunger mounts after Israel’s months-long blockade of the territory. The WFP said the aid, mostly flour, was taken before the trucks could reach their destination. A witness in the southern city of Khan Younis told the Associated Press the UN convoy was stopped at a makeshift roadblock and offloaded by desperate civilians in their thousands. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/palestinians-block-and-empty-dozens-of-un-food-lorries-in-gaza-strip/ar-AA1FPX5Y?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W230&cvid=fa29e5cd879745f9b9c417448947108f&ei=13 The UN and other humanitarian groups are not able to guarantee the fair distribution of food supplies. -

Crime Police Bust 3 Illegal Loan Shark Networks
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Authorities have dismantled a sprawling illegal loan network operating under the notorious name “Jae Aun Quick Cash”, arresting six suspects including high-profile financier Ms. Suphaphak, known for her aggressive interest rates and bold marketing tactics. The nationwide operation, carried out on 31 May, was ordered by Pol. Maj. Gen. Tatsapoom Charuprachya, Commander of the Economic Crime Suppression Division. Officers executed raids at six targeted locations across Bangkok, Pathum Thani and Sukhothai, arresting six individuals and seizing significant evidence related to illegal moneylending operations. Investigators say each of the three networks uncovered had revolving capital exceeding 100 million baht, and were charging exorbitant interest rates well above legal limits. Target 1: “Cash Today” – Chantaburi The first crackdown focused on “Cash Today”, a business promoted via Facebook and allegedly operated by Mr. Sumet, who evaded arrest at the scene but later surrendered to police. His operation reportedly charged 10% monthly. Officers found financial documents and other evidence at his Chantaburi residence. Two other suspects, Ms. Suphatra (54) and Mr. Rewat (39), were arrested in Bangkok and admitted to their roles in profiting from the illegal scheme. Target 2: Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani In the second operation, police arrested three men, Mr. Phonpawit (54), Mr. Kritin (30), and Mr. Chao (31), for running an unauthorised loan business in Lam Luk Ka. Their model reportedly charged daily interest of 2%. The two younger suspects acted as enforcers responsible for debt collection, sometimes using threats and intimidation. Target 3: “Jae Aun Quick Cash” – Sukhothai The third and most notorious figure arrested was 35-year-old Ms. Suphaphak, better known by her alias “Jae Aun Quick Cash”. Her brazen slogan, “If 2% monthly is too much, go borrow from the government”, was printed on promotional T-shirts and found during the raid. Her operation allegedly imposed interest rates of 7.57% per day. Those unable to pay were routinely visited by her operatives, who were known to use threats and intimidation. During the raid on her residence and office in Sukhothai, police uncovered numerous documents detailing borrower records, debt acknowledgement forms and stacks of merchandise promoting the illegal lending service. Ms. Suphaphak confessed to all charges. Authorities confirmed that the seized evidence and financial records will form part of the prosecution’s case, as all suspects have now been handed over to the Economic Crime Suppression Division for legal proceedings.

Crime Authorities Seal Off 42 ‘Doraemon Doors’ to Myanmar in Border Crackdown
Pictures courtesy of Daily News. Security agencies have tried to permanently seal 42 illegal cross-border passageways, dubbed “Doraemon Doors”, that connected private properties in Sangkhla Buri District to neighbouring Myanmar. The move comes amid escalating efforts to curb smuggling and drug trafficking along the border. The decision follows a high-level security meeting held on 30 May, chaired by Mr Suriyasak Muean-Uam, District Chief of Sangkhla Buri and attended by senior local officials, police, border patrol, and representatives of affected homeowners and warehouse operators. The meeting focused on enforcing border control in Moo 9 village, located in the Ban Phra Chedi Sam Ong area. The so-called “Doraemon Doors”, named after the fictional character’s ability to travel anywhere through a magic door, allowed unauthorised passage from the front of homes and buildings in Thailand directly out through the back into Myanmar. These channels have allegedly been used for smuggling cash, goods and possibly drugs. In one recent case, officials uncovered an attempt to smuggle over 18 million baht in cash across the border using one of these doors. A total of 42 such doors on residential properties, warehouses and factories are now being sealed off permanently between 31 May and 6 June. The operation is part of the government’s Seal, Stop, Safe campaign to suppress cross-border narcotics trafficking and illegal trade. Security units involved include the Lat Ya Task Force, local administrative officials and Sangkhla Buri police. Homeowners have been ordered to lock the rear exits with new padlocks and permanently weld or seal the doors. The keys are being jointly held by the three lead agencies to ensure security and oversight. Warning notices have been posted at each sealed exit, declaring that tampering with or reopening these doors constitutes a violation of administrative orders. Security patrols will be increased to ensure compliance and to monitor the structural integrity of the sealed doors. Any future unauthorised use or modification of these rear exits will be considered a breach of official orders and may result in the offender being stripped of their land use rights. Offending parties will be reported to the Kanchanaburi Provincial Border Command Centre for further action. This decisive move underscores Thailand’s commitment to closing down loopholes in its border security and tackling transnational crime with a coordinated, zero-tolerance approach.
