BANGKOK: When the mother of one of the Thai hostages held in the Gaza Strip for over a year caught sight of her son on a Facebook livestream after his release Thursday (Feb 1), he had changed so much that she didn’t recognise him at first.
Surasak Rumnao, 32, who was kidnapped from the southern Israeli town of Yesha on Oct 7, 2023, looked pale and puffy, said his mother, Khammee Lamnao.
