Parents of the Thai boys trapped in a flooding cave slept at the rescue site, according to reports, as teams prepare to continue their rescue effort in the morning. Officials said that four of the schoolboys were rescued over the weekend.
The mother of one of the boys said she’s sleeping at the cave site as she waits for confirmation that her son was pulled from the cave. Twelve children between the age of 11 and 16 and a soccer coach had been trapped inside for more than two weeks.
“I just heard his name, Mongkhol, and I was happy enough,” she said. I believe he will survive,” his mother said.
The four boys were given health checks before they were taken to the hospital, officials said earlier in the day.
“I confirm that we are at war with water and time from the first day up to today,” he stipulated Saturday. “Finding the boys doesn’t mean we’ve finished our mission. It is only a small battle we’ve won, but the war has not ended. The war ends when we win all three battles—the battles to search, rescue, and send them home.”
