A total of 4,771 Thai citizens have led Israel since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist rampage.
The Thai government said that 18 of its citizens remain hostages somewhere in Gaza.
An estimated 30,000 Thai workers labored in Israel's food industry prior to the latest war.

An exodus of Thai citizens has been underway for nearly three weeks in Israel, after dozens of Thai farm workers were gunned down in the October 7 Hamas attack, and 18 Thais were abducted into Gaza. Those abducted remain in unknown conditions with many other foreigners and Israelis.
