Thai Families Pray for Hostages Held by Hamas

A year after the capture of Thai workers in Israel by Hamas, families continue to seek their safe return amid ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Six Thai nationals remain in captivity a year after being abducted by Hamas during an attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people.
The Thai government is actively seeking international support, engaging with countries like Iran and Qatar, to secure the hostages' release.
Families of the hostages, such as the Sriaoun family, hold regular prayer gatherings in Thailand, clinging to hope despite limited news.
The Thai migrant workers were part of a significant labor force in Israel's agriculture sector, with 30,000 Thais employed before the conflict.
Compensation from the Israeli government has helped families financially, but emotional distress remains high, especially for children of the hostages.
