A Cambodian man has been rescued after being trapped in a cave for four days whilst collecting bat droppings.

Mr Bora was trapped inside The Cave by Chakrai Mountain and was discovered by a friend who often joined him to collect guano.
"We're both small-built and Can easily fit into narrow passages, so My Friend was able to crawl through another passage to Reach Me inside The Cave ," he said.

An elite rescue team was flown in by helicopter to assist with the operation, and Mr Bora was recovered on Wednesday after parts of The Cave were destroyed to clear enough Space .
Mr Bora and His Family have received money and food donations after The Rescue received national attentionIn a statement, Mr Bora's wife, Koeun Sothea, said he was being treated for head, knee and chest injuries.
