AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoCave Rescue Update: Five of seven villagers trapped in a flooded cave in Laos’ Xaysomboun province have been found alive after about a week underground; divers say the men are in good spirits but hungry and weak, and the extraction is still “difficult and dangerous,” with two people still missing. Emergency Care on Standby: Reports say food, drinking water, and medical support are being prepared at the cave entrance as rescuers plan further dives and continue searching. Flood-Risk Warning: The trapping followed heavy rain that triggered flash flooding and landslides in a narrow, flooded mine cave—highlighting how quickly rainy-season hazards can turn a search for gold into a health emergency. Routine Immunisation Support: Laos’ Ministry of Health, UNICEF, and Luxembourg handed over vaccine supplies to keep routine immunisation steady for children and adolescents nationwide. Public Health Preparedness: Laos also launched national preparations for the 3rd Review Conference of the Convention on Cluster Munitions, with broad government and stakeholder involvement ahead of September 2026 in Vientiane.
