No reports of casualties among Thais in Israel

BANGKOK, July 13 (TNA) - There are no reports of Thais suffering casualties in Israel as fighting between Israel and Hamas near the Gaza Strip continues, said Sek Wannamethee, director-general of Thai Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Information Department. Mr. Sek said on Saturday that reports sent by the Thai embassy in Tel Aviv showed that up to 53 people were killed and more than 400 wounded as fighting between the Israeli and the Palestinian forces continues. However, there were no reports on casualties of Thais living there, he said. Mr. Sek said the Israeli government had given an assurance that it would do everything it could to protect the lives of innocent people and to also end the ongoing violence as soon as possible. The Thai embassy is coordinating closely with the Thais in Israel by providing advises and assistance in case of emergency, said Mr. Sek. However, there’s still no need for an evacuation of the Thais for the time being. (TNA)
