Among the hundreds killed after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its unprecedented attack on Israel nearly a week ago were at least 21 Thai citizens, with a further 14 thought to have been kidnapped. Back in Thailand, bereaved families are struggling to come to terms with their loss, while those with missing relatives are desperate to see their family members released. FRANCE 24 spoke with the mothers of two Thai nationals who moved to Israel to work as farm workers: one was killed in Israel while the other has been taken hostage by Hamas.
