We know that between 5 and 10 percent of the ammunitions which have been dropped on the Gaza Strip have not exploded. And we know the injuries, the terrible injuries that this can provoke to children. So this is really the first preoccupation. And then in addition, for our trucks and for our missions to go in the different parts of the Gaza Strip, this is also a concern.

A second concern is the fact that The roads are heavily damaged. That is very often limiting our capacity to move from one area to the other. The infrastructure has been damaged so much in the Gaza Strip that, for example, it's not necessarily easy to find a warehouse to store all the supplies,

It is very significant to the LGBTQ community here. I mean, everybody who's come to Thailand knows that LGBTQ people tend to be quite visible. You see a lot of trans people. It has a reputation as being a country that's very tolerant, an easy place to be open. But they haven't had legal rights, and that's a big deal.

There's still a few areas that still need to be improved. I've actually got a couple with me now. Gay and Ploy, they've been together for 17 years. Congratulations to both of you. First of all, how do you feel today?

who have come down here today. You can hear the music behind me. It's been a very celebratory atmosphere. But it has been a long, hard campaign. And although this is a very lighthearted affair, for the campaigners, 10 years ago, they were not at all sure that they could get this law through. And there was a lot of resistance. Public attitudes have really shifted in Thailand.
