Chiang Rai [Thailand], Jul 10 (NT): The rescue team is all set to start again the third operation to save the remaining five members of the Wild Boars soccer team, who are stranded in a huge cave in northern Thailand.

 As it seems that the rescue mission is a fight against time and heavy rainfall forecast for the week, which is expected to flood tunnels once again, making the whole process hard to execute.

 Worth mention here Out of 13 team members, eight have been saved so far from the Tham Luang cave, while five still left in cave.

It is noted that a rescue team of foreign divers and Thai Navy SEALS saved four boys on Sunday and another four on Monday, who were trapped in the cave for more than two weeks

The first eight boys rescued from a Thai cave are all ‘in good health, no fever. Everyone is in a good mental state," Jesada Chokedamrongsuk, permanent secretary of the public health ministry, reports Agence France-Presse.

On a related note the footballers, aged between 11 and 16 years, were recovered by British divers on late Monday night, with footage showing them clearly weak and huddled on a mud mound deep surrounded by the Tham Luang cave.

The party was sauntered inside the cave, following which they were stranded for nine days, before being found. (NT)
