On Thursday morning, rain sent more soil and water into the cave, according to a Laotian logistics staffer for a firm supplying vehicles to support the rescue operation.
‘If there isn’t too much more rain, they may be able to bring them out today. But if heavier rain comes, it could take a few more days,’ said the man, who requested anonymity due to fears of reprisal from his employer.
Local villagers, rescue groups and logistics workers were also supporting the operation, with more than 20 people standing by at the cave entrance, he said.
‘Morale improved yesterday. People are happy and hopeful today after the five people were found.’
