MANILA/BANGKOK šC Thousands of miles from home, Thai laborer Kamlue was on his way to harvest courgettes on an Israeli farm near the Gaza border on Oct. 7 when the truck he was riding on came under heavy fire.
¡°They launched a relentless barrage of gunfire from every direction,¡± he said, asking not to use his full name as he recounted his escape from the Hamas attack.
The driver of the truck managed to steer it to a safe position, but Kamlue was among several workers who were wounded.
