For three weeks, Sunan Chombua has waited anxiously for news about his son. On 7 October, a photograph shared online showed Komkrit Chombua, 29, sitting on the floor, head bowed, among a group of hostages taken by Hamas.
“When I looked at the phone and I saw his picture, I knew immediately it was him,” Sunan said. “I want the government to negotiate with them quicker, faster. I want to see him again, I want him to come home.”
