Five Thai farm workers, held hostage in Gaza for over a year, returned to Bangkok on Sunday in a tearful reunion with their families. The group—Watchara Sriaoun, Pongsak Tanna, Sathian Suwannakham, Surasak Lamnau, and Bannawat Saethao—were freed on January 30 as part of a ceasefire agreement aimed at resolving the Gaza conflict.
💔➡️❤️🩹 Tears turned to joy as the men arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 7:30 a.m., greeted by emotional relatives and officials from Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their release marks a bittersweet milestone in a crisis that gripped the nation.
Global efforts to secure their freedom highlight the complex realities of international conflicts. For Thailand, the moment symbolizes hope amid ongoing challenges for migrant workers abroad. 🌍✊
