Rescuers had planned to take a 10- to 20-hour pause in the rescue efforts to replenish the cave with oxygen and give the team of 18 divers leading the boys on the difficult journey a chance to rest. However, they ended up starting the rescue effort a few hours earlier than planned.
The second phase began at 11 a.m. local time, which is midnight Eastern time.
Sakchai Lalit/APThe boys have been trapped in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave since June 23 when they and their coach entered and were then cut off by flash flooding.
Officials called the four boys who have already been rescued, “hungry, but happy.”
