Thai authorities have reported that 22 of the wounded from the devastating restaurant fire in northern Bangkok are in critical condition, as of early Monday morning. The fire, which the desk first reported at 21:47 Jerusalem on Sunday, has now killed at least 29 people and left dozens injured. The new casualty figures were released by local officials as rescue operations continued and hospitals updated their statuses overnight.
Our reporting on the fire has evolved through the evening. At 21:47 Jerusalem, the initial report cited Thai media placing the death toll at 29. Minutes later, Israeli media outlet Israel Hayom reported at least 27 killed in what it described as a 'pub fire' — likely the same incident with a different casualty count. By the same hour, ZAKA, the Israeli rescue organization, stated via ynet that no Israelis or Jews were known to be among the casualties. At 00:05 Jerusalem, The Zioneer confirmed the initial death toll of at least 29. Now, at 02:00 Jerusalem, the number of critically wounded has been specified, indicating the toll is still being finalized.
As The Zioneer reported on Sunday night, footage from the scene has been published, showing the scale of the blaze. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The actual number of casualties may rise as hospitals continue to update their reports and rescue teams search the site.
