Thai boys could be in cave for months

Twelve boys and their football coach trapped in a Thai cave have been found alive but will need to learn to dive or wait months for flooding to recede before they can get out.

The group had been missing for nine days before they were found by divers late yesterday on a small dry ledge. 

Rescuers are now battling rising water levels to bring more supplies to the group.

According to the military, they may need to have food sent in for at least the next four months.

Two British rescuer divers who had flown over to join the search operation found the boys on last night. 

The boys are seen by torchlight, sitting on a ledge above water, responding to the divers that all 13 were there and that they were very hungry.
