Thai Workers Return to Nahal Oz


(Ynet News) Nahum Barnea - On Oct. 7, the Thai workers at Kibbutz Nahal Oz were attacked twice by the terrorists and looters who raided the kibbutz. One of them was killed. The rest went home to Thailand. After two and a half months, they came back to work on the kibbutz. The civilians of the kibbutz are still living further north, and only soldiers and Thai workers are there. The kibbutz renovated the Thai workers' living quarters. Boaz Ben-Sira, the farm manager, made sure to replace all the equipment that was damaged. Thai food awaited the returning workers. The kibbutz also employed workers from Gaza before Oct. 7. Bobby Sorapot, the only one in the group who speaks English, said, "I don't understand. Explain to me, why did they come to kill us? They were our friends. We worked together."
