4 boys trapped in Thai cave rescued, next operation within 10 to 20 hours: official

新華網消息，周日晚上，泰國當局在新聞發布會上表示，12名少年足球隊員及教練被困山洞一事終於有了突破性進展。經過救援人員的不懈努力，其中4名少年已於當天傍晚被成功救出，送往醫院接受治療。

由於搜救隊氧氣用盡，下一輪搜救行動將於10-12小時內重啟。受天氣影響，預計至少需要3-4天才能將被困人員全部救出。

這12名少年由教練帶領，於6月23日進入「睡美人」岩洞探險後失聯，10天後才終於被兩名英國潛水員發現。潛水員將當時的情景拍了下來。視頻顯示，他們之所以能順利與被困人員進行溝通，多虧了其中一名少年。所有人中，只有這個後來被證實名叫阿都爾·薩蒙的14歲男孩能用英語與他們交流。

這個堅強勇敢的孩子生於緬甸佤邦，是少數民族阿卡族人，家境貧窮，年僅七歲就離家到泰國北部清萊美塞縣一所基督教會學校求學。這所學校非常重視外語科目，教育學生們努力學習，尤其鼓勵他們勤練口語能力，以便中學畢業後在邊境地區謀生。

聰明好學、在校長口中是塊寶的阿都爾正是其中的佼佼者，是個不折不扣的學霸。學校考試科目每門滿分為4分，阿都爾的平均分是3.9，曾在府級科學比賽中獲獎。不僅如此，他在課堂之外也是一位「全職高手」，除了足球，排球、腳踏車、吉他、鋼琴、小提琴也樣樣拿得起來，真可謂「文武雙全」。

在這裡，鏈君衷心祝願阿都爾和他的同伴們，以及所有搜救隊員早日平安歸來。

永遠不要輕視你所學習的每一項技能，以及為此付出的每一滴汗水。勤奮的人運氣都不會太差，而奇蹟不過是努力的另一個名字。

CHIANG RAI, Thailand, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Four boys out of a total of 12 young soccer team members and their coach have been rescued after being trapped in a cave in northern Thailand for more than two weeks, a Thai official in charge of the rescue operation told reporters Sunday.

The boys were rescued using full face masks, with the first one emerging out of the cave at about 17:40 local time Sunday, followed by the second one 10 minutes later, Chiang Rai governor Narongsak Osottanakorn told a press briefing at the site after the first successful operation.

The third boy emerged from the cave at about 19:40 local time, tightly followed by the fourth one. They have all been hospitalized, according to the governor.

Helicopters were roaring overhead and cheering erupted at the media center following the official"s remarks.

The next operation for the rest is set to resume in 10-20 hours, with officials and volunteers buoyed by the fact that their method of rescuing the boys by diving has been successful so far, he said.

"We"ve used all the oxygen," Narongsak said, adding that the clock is continuing to tick for the remaining boys who are still waiting in the cave along with their coach, and rescuers are going to focus on refilling the oxygen tanks so they can continue the operation.

Those who joined the extraction Sunday will have a meeting to discuss the next operation.

"Today is D-day for the extraction, with the boys at their best mental and physical conditions and medical teams as well as rescue teams ready for operation," said the governor.

Thirteen foreign cave diving experts have entered the cave to join the rescue operation since 10:00 local time on Sunday. The boys were dived out from the cave one by one, escorted by two divers at one time.

International rescue teams from the U.S., China, Australia and Europe are stationed along tunnel walls from the entrance of the cave to chamber 3, a safe command center inside the cave, to support the extraction.

The 12 boys, aged between 11 and 16, and their coach, 25, went missing in Tham Luang Nang Non cave in northern Thailand"s Chiang Rai Province on June 23. They were located on a small cliff about four km away from the cave entrance when the search entered the ninth day on July 2.
