當地時間星期一晚間,泰國海軍海報突擊隊(Navy SEALS)的Facebook主頁上公佈一段男童獲救的影片,證實失踪的十三人全部平安尋回。

影片中,這隊失踪9日的足球隊全身濕透,身體虛弱,擠坐在洞穴的深處一小塊乾爽岩石的邊緣,四周被水包圍。

影片中,這些孩子被找到時幾時要求離開洞穴,還需要食物。找到他們的未具名潛水員,以英國口音安慰他們說還有很多很多人會過來幫手。

他們看起來疲憊不堪,對光線敏感,但是都很清醒,說著有限的英語試圖跟潛水員溝通。

這群年齡介於11至16歲的男孩,與一名25歲的足球教練,在6月23日失踪。

洞穴外,焦急等待的家屬聽到平安報訊後都喜極而泣。

當地時間星期一,清萊的省長公佈了海軍潛水員救援隊伍的消息,Narongsak  Osottanakorn向記者證實「13人都平安..他們在確認可以離開洞穴之前都會被好好照顧。當局會派一個可以潛水的醫生和食物去救援。他們已經有一段時間未進食。」

救援行動還遠未結束


雖然他們都已經證實生還,複雜的救援行動還遠未結束,他們被困在長達幾公里的洞穴深處,洞穴道內還有部分地方完全被水淹沒,救援隊伍仍要想辦法將他們送出來。

天氣預報在本週後數天當地會有大雨,救援隊伍必須盡快將救援物資送到被困的小孩手上。

大規模的國際救援隊伍參與本次搜救,事發位於泰國北部的Tham Luang溶洞,此前數日當地都一直大雨,溶洞內部分通道被完全淹沒,導致救援隊伍無法前行。

上週末,一隊潛水員帶著數百個氣瓶進入洞內設立行動基地。參與營救的潛水員包括泰國海軍海豹突擊隊潛水員,三名英國洞穴潛水專家和一隊美國太平洋司令部的軍人隊伍,其中還包括救援和生存專家。

當地薩滿祭司和佛教僧侶在山洞內祈禱並獻祭,祈求山神讓男孩們安全回家。

救援組在洞內不停抽水,潛水員也趁著一個好天氣的空檔,在洞腔內部分積水下降的時候向洞內推進了幾百米。

救援組原本預計可以在洞內一個被稱為「芭提雅海灘」的高台點找到他們,但是由於該台地被積水淹沒,被困的足球隊又向洞內再深入了300到400米。

這隊失踪的「野豹」足球隊牽動着泰國全國上下的心情。

6月23日,這隊足球隊在訓練之後走進山洞探險,卻被一場大雨切斷了回路,被困洞內。

救援人員在洞口發現足球隊員的單車,球鞋和背包,在洞口附近也發現他們的手印和腳印。泰國十二名男孩和一名足球助教在失踪9日之後平安尋回。

事發的Tham Luang山洞總長10公里,蛇形盤旋的山洞和狹窄的的通道,這裡是泰國最長,也是最難走的山洞之一。洞外有標語警告遊客在7月到11月的雨季不可進入山洞。
