A Thai father awaits return of his son held in Gaza for a year and counting

Apart from Israelis, migrant workers from Thailand were also among those taken hostage during the Hamas attack on Oct 7 last year. Two have since died, while another six are still believed to be held captive in Gaza. Apart from them, 39 Thais were killed in the attacks. Before the attacks, an estimated 30,000 Thais were working in Israel. CNA's Saksith Saiyasombut travelled to Thailand's northeastern province of Buriram to meet a father still awaiting his son's return.
