1,400 people claim they want to leave.
According to the Foreign Ministry, at least 1,400 Thai workers in Israel have so far expressed a desire to return back to Thailand, and unconfirmed reports from Israeli companies indicate that up to 12 Thais may have perished in Hamas problems.
On Wednesday, the second class of 15 Thais is scheduled to depart from Israel, and a total of 1, 437 have stated their desire to go back home.
The injured who were removed from high-risk areas would be the first group of survivors, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Jakkapong Sangmanya, who gave an upgrade in the late evening following a meeting with Thai Ambassador to Israel, Pannabha Chandraramy.
He stated that this class of residents has been authorized to journey and is anticipated to depart on Wednesday and arrive in Thailand on Thursday, citing the Thai consulate in Israel.
He claimed that while Hamas’ capture rate remained at 11, the number of injured Thais increased from eight to nine.
According to him, there are encouraging signs that Thai authorities have been in touch with some nations in an effort to ensure the safety and release of those captured. 80 Thai individuals had been found to be safe in Israel, he continued.
Mr. Jakkapong claimed that the embassy in Israel had not verified the death toll in the commission’s earlier statement, where the number of fatalities increased from two to 12.
The agency’s representative, Kanchana Patarachoke, reported that 12 Thais were killed in Israeli assault in the morning, according to information gathered from their businesses.
Nevertheless, she added that given the circumstances, it would be challenging for the government to confirm the casualties. She pointed out that the figures had not yet been verified by Israeli government.
Ms. Kanchana stated that the ministry is working through a number of channels to discuss the release of those who have been captured and that it is awaiting word from the Thai consulate in Kuala Lumpur, which will get in touch with the Israeli ambassador that.
According to Ms. Kanchana,” Vietnamese embassies are doing everything in their power to ensure the safety and release of the Thai workers who have been captured.”
Thais are among the 100 or more civil captives taken by the Hamas intruders, in addition to Israelis. Some include citizens of France, Germany, and Georgia.
Thai air pressure aircraft are also on standby for departure missions, she said, adding that the Israeli army has evacuated Thais from the conflict zone to protected areas and that Israeli authorities are prepared to help the evacuation.
There are approximately 30,000 Thai people in Israel, with roughly 5,000 in Gaza, so the number of residents will be updated.
Israel intended to remove all residents from cities close to Gaza within 24 hours, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry. All departure missions are permitted, and the airport is still available.
The emergency, according to Ms. Kanchana, will start as soon as it is secure to do so, and preparations for their use as travel points are being made with adjacent nations.
Sutin Klungsang, the defense minister, stated that the air force has prepared five C-130 aircraft and one Airbus 340 for the removal vision, which may start as soon as Israel issues the all-clear.
