BANGKOK (Reuters) - The health of five people still trapped inside a flooded Thai cave was "still good", the head of the rescue mission said on Monday, after confirming that four more boys were brought out safely from the cave complex.

A 12-member soccer squad and their coach were trapped inside the Tham Luang caves for more than two weeks. Eight have been rescued so far in an operation that began on Sunday.
