Bangkok, Thailand — Five Thai farm workers who were held hostage in Gaza for over a year have finally returned home! 😊 Their families couldn’t hold back tears of joy as they hugged their loved ones at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport on Sunday.
The five workers — Watchara Sriaoun, Pongsak Tanna, Sathian Suwannakham, Surasak Lamnau, and Bannawat Saethao — smiled brightly as they walked into the arrivals hall. They were freed on January 30 as part of a ceasefire deal aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza.
They landed at 7:30 a.m. local time (which is the same as 0030 GMT) and were greeted by their overjoyed families and officials from Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was a very happy moment for everyone! 🎈
These brave workers had been away from home for a long time, and their return marks a hopeful step towards peace in the region. Let’s hope for more happy reunions like this in the future! 🌟
