Search for alternative exits to rescue trapped team

Search for alternative exits to rescue trapped team

Rescue teams will continue to search for alternative exits for the 12 footballers and their assistant coach as the only escape route through the cave is still flooded, a senior Navy officer said on Tuesday.

Rear Adm Arpakorn Yukongkaew, commander of the Navy SEAL Command, said the cave's main exit has several narrow areas that remained flooded and are impassable for anyone not trained in diving.
He said rescuers have given the footballers high-calorie gels to restore their strength and may attempt to teach them to dive.
Divers are expected to lead a doctor to the area to give the team members a physical examination later on Tuesday.
