Currently, some 7,058 Thais have been asking to be brought home.
As for casualties, Israeli authorities reported three Thai workers were killed, bringing the total to 24. The number of injured workers has risen by two, bringing the total to 16, while the number of hostages remains at 16.
As for bringing the bodies of deceased Thai citizens back home, it is expected to take a while. The Thai embassy said it is coordinating with the company appointed by Israel to manage the remains of foreign nationals for repatriation. The company has said it is working to make the repatriation possible, and that Israel would cover all costs.
Typically, Israel takes approximately seven days to confirm the identities of the deceased, but during wartime, this process may take longer.
