Repatriation of Thais is continuing, he said, adding that no casualties have been reported among Thai people living in Middle Eastern countries. The second group of 68 Thais left Iran on Tuesday and was expected to return home on Thursday and Friday. Many more stranded Thais have booked special repatriation flights from Qatar. Mr Panidone said that for Thai people in the countries where airspace remained closed, ministry officials were coordinating their trips to third-party countries where flights were available. Meanwhile, the Thai embassy in Tel Aviv warns that scammers claiming to be embassy officials have been attempting to lure stranded Thais into transferring money to arrange for their repatriation flights.
