The striking news of five more Thai expatriates falling in Israel touches down at Suvarnabhumi Airport this Thursday. A solemn ceremony, conducted in the cargo terminal, witnesses the attendance of Thai and Israeli officials paying their respects.
The National Human Rights Commission of Thailand (NHRCT), in an uncompromising stance, voices out a call for an immediate ceasefire in the embattled region of Gaza. Confronting the distressing scenario of the ravaging warfare, the statement deeply reflects concern over the staggering toll of the relentless violence. Bordering around 10,000, the deceased civilian count, with women and children constituting a significant portion, paints a grim picture.
The turmoil further catapults over a million innocent inhabitants into displacement and has drastically impacted the relay of essential humanitarian aid to the beleaguered Palestinian population. “A pressing appeal is directed at all involved factions to address the human rights predicament in the Gaza Strip. Unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid and immediate ceasefires are the pivotal needs of the hour to safeguard civilians and avail pivotal supplies to the affected populace.”, stated the NHRCT.
Honoring the International humanitarian law becomes paramount with calls for humanely treating civilians. It petitioned for an unbiased investigation into potential abuses to hold accountable the transgressors of the Geneva Conventions. Armed conflicts need to be shelved by participants to facilitate this process.

They expressed their confidence in their employers and the defensive prowess of the Israeli Government. “The Royal Thai Embassy stands ready to assist, in case there’s a change of heart leading them back to the motherland.”, she assures.
