Thai authorities told media today to leave a site near the entrance to a cave where 12 boys and their football coach have been trapped for more than two weeks, as they need the space for the rescue operation.

"Everyone who is not involved with the operations has to get out of the area immediately," police announced via loudspeaker at the muddy encampment, setting off a frenzy of moving and packing.

"From the situation assessment, we need to use the area to help victims," police said.
