October 10, 2023 in “NewsRoom”, a talk show about big news. Via Thairath Online Hosted by King Peerawat Atthanak and Guy Phongkasem Satyaprasert. Today is a discussion on the issue of minutes of survival for victims of war. “Israel – Hamas” After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the latest figures There were 18 Thai people killed, 9 injured and 11 taken hostage.

about this Mr. Kuay Kornwit Kaewkerd Thai people living in Israel Revealed that right now the situation he is in is quite safe. There is good care. Both the people of his country and Thai people who live here I have been here for 4 years. Normally the contract is for 5 years and 3 months. Once it’s over, it’s over. I can’t come back again. Right now, where I am, there is no sound at all. But the place where he works It is attached to the Gaza Strip. If you look at it with the naked eye That is, we could see 1-2 km. on the day of the incident. Saturday was usually a holiday and the other workers would sleep, but he had to go to work on the cow farm. Then take Saturday off instead. Saw that the rocket started firing around 6:00 a.m. which saw a picture of a rocket coming up.

Later, Israel shot and blocked them. Then about half an hour Hamas invaded. He himself was at the scene of the crime. He came in 2 times. In the first round, he came to shoot a gun at the door. And then shoot the gun first. Among those that could be seen were those of Gaza soldiers. and then entered the Nepali residence Then he shot two Nepalese people dead and then went into the village. The Israeli soldiers came to ask. He gave the information. Then went to hide in the same accommodation as he had recommended.

But I myself feel insecure. I want to change my hiding place to another place. which feels denser and more secure while other fellow workers Still in the same place During the coming of Hamas Israeli soldiers arrived immediately after about 10 minutes. After a while, they heard the sound of Hamas coming again. It’s a new group of pickup trucks. Then came another round of shooting.

So he sent a voice message to a fellow worker at another location. Go in and tell your employer that they are sending soldiers to protect you. because someone was invaded But it’s not in time. Because about 9 Thai people had already died, 4 corpses and 5 skeletal remains were found. The numbers that they had said were still unknown. Has the official announcement been made yet? But after the incident had calmed down, the soldiers allowed themselves to stand and point out the body.

After contacting the relatives of the deceased He said he would listen to the government’s official announcement first. Today he just went to collect the corpse. Therefore, he advised his relatives to contact the embassy. because Thai people are lost and many died

As for himself, he had already coordinated with the embassy about returning home. He said to wait step by step. I myself understand the process. But I want the group that died and the captured people, how will the government help them? I want everyone to have all the rights. I don’t want to leave anyone behind.

which in the camp itself We had to wait for the leader to confirm who had been arrested. Now it’s time to move to a safe resting point. The boss evacuated all the workers on 2 buses, the route that came. I was able to walk normally. There are soldiers on the side of the road to take care of you. The incident that happened is called the most severe since I came to live here. Because normally during war Must be notified in advance.

When asked before going to work in Israel Do I have to practice? Khun Kuay Revealed that it was training and told them that they were going to be in a war zone. which everyone who comes knows But I came because the compensation was high. But some people actually arrived at the location. In some places, wages may be inflated. Those workers also fled by abandoning their visas altogether. Then go find work elsewhere. As for the issue of borrowing money to work Khun Kuay He said that if he had to work to pay back his investment, he thought that in just 1 year he would be able to make his money back. If you don’t eat and play

However, Khun Kuay also tells about the survival period that While stuck in a small room, soldiers outside suddenly came in. and tried to push the door in He himself typed a message to tell his girlfriend that might not go home Because Gaza came in and killed all the workers. He was in the room from 7 a.m. to 5 a.m. the next day, but suddenly found smoke floating in. Therefore, the channel was closed to prevent smoke from entering. Then use salt water to cover your face to prevent choking on the smoke.

But during that time Then he sat and slept on the back of the refrigerator. to prepare an escape route If Gaza opens its doors During that time, the phone signal also disappeared. But I myself heard every event. As for what made him survive? This is because you tend to think of events in advance. I will always be looking for a way to escape.

Once in a safe place His country helped each other very well. He came to donate clothes and buy various equipment. and shoes provided There was no separation at all. Mother now knows that it is safe. But I didn’t dare to call. Because my mother just lost my father.

For the purpose now I have already informed that I want to return to Thailand. But still no one came in. Still waiting for the embassy to contact me back. I want to tell my family that I’m safe now. I want to return, but I don’t want to leave the family of the person who died. I want all my brothers and sisters who have passed away. Everyone gets welfare. I don’t want to escape and survive alone.

side Khun Tik A Thai person who has lived in Israel for more than 30 years and who is in charge of helping Thai people going to work revealed that right now the need of Thai people is to help them get out of the red zone. which has a lot of people contacting us There were approximately 300 Thai people in the red zone and this event It was considered a very great war. The number of deaths is approximately 1,000 people. For assistance at this time. About 5-6 tour buses were helped out, with 1 bus able to carry about 40-50 people.

After receiving it Most Thai workers are close to completing their contracts. I want a Thai plane to go home. But some people have a problem, which is a passport that some people don’t have. But he wants to go home But now the embassy is closed. So it was a problem of what he was going to do next.

for safety in the Jerusalem area Where he is, there are about 90 percent, to which he is now attached. Because we have been here for about 30 years and the relationship of Thai people here is no problem. We are friends, like brothers and sisters. For the case where a Thai person dies I would like to contact the embassy directly. Because it must go through the government at its best.

As for the issue of Thai people saying that they were sold for labor and were unable to find a plane ticket home. Khun Tik Said that this matter is already difficult. During the war to find plane tickets, I could tell you that if you wanted to go back, just go back.

But in the case of being told that labor was sold in that matter You must understand that you are in the red zone. through his employer may be considered unsafe So he hired someone to take him to another area. You can’t say you can’t sell him during the war. Because it helps you stay safe. In Gaza, there are a lot of Thai people. Because that area is agricultural land. Thousands of Thai people will live there.

For the case of airplanes Still able to fly normally Contacting the authorities to ask if there is a problem involves officials from all departments at this time. Most of them go to the area to take care of Thai workers. Sometimes there aren’t enough officers. to answer the phone It wasn’t that he didn’t want to answer the phone. But because he went to the area

For people in the Jerusalem area with Jewish and Muslim people Khun Tik Revealed that Jewish people, if there is a war, will go into the safe. As for Islamic people, some people may riot. At this time there are Thai people living in the red area. and the officials are rushing And I would like to tell my family not to worry. You can still survive yourself.

For tactics in the battle “Hamas – Israel” Mr. Yo Analayo Kosakul website editor thaiarmedforce.com Referring to the incident that If asked whether there was laxity or not, I think he really doesn’t know. Because there was no response at all. It may have been the greatest mistake of the Israeli intelligence services. And this time it was somewhat more severe than before.

Because it looks more like terrorism. There is a lot of emphasis on killing civilians this time around. The tactics are different. In the case of weapons used by Hamas Iran has also officially announced its support for Hamas. which has many parts that are new innovations used in warfare As for the weapons that Israel has It’s said to be able to get quite a lot back. from past events

For the case of hostage taking This time it was more than ever. believe that to kill and published on social media. There may be real ones, and there may be a lot of them. to create fear which by Israel It will be an attack. or attack to save hostages Therefore, it is frankly said that the hostages may have little chance of survival.
