Nathapong Nuanchan, 35, who was hurt in the right foot, was the first Thai worker to be brought out of the aircraft in a chair.
Mr. Nathapong, a resident of the state of Udon Thani, claimed that he and about 10 different Thai workers worked at kibbutz close to the Gaza Strip. They heard gunshots and bombs early on September 7. He knelt on the ground with his companions. Later, he experienced a straight leg shraphel hit.
Israeli soldiers who arrived soon after helped the employees leave the area.
Mr. Nathapong claimed that after working in Israel for around four years, he still had a time left on his employment contract. He declared that instead of attempting to return to Israel, he had rather look for employment in Udon Thani, his home province.
