Rescue attempts have been delayed again after the water level in the flooded shafts suddenly rose.

The miners became trapped on 3 August when a wall in a tunnel collapsed and water from an adjacent chamber gushed into the three shafts.

Officials say the water has to drop to a depth of 1.5m (5ft) to allow rescuers to enter the shafts safely.

But on Sunday, it suddenly rose again to more than 20m.

Last week, a special underwater drone carrying a camera was lowered into one of the shafts.

Relatives of the miners had hoped the drone would provide them with long-awaited news on their loved ones, from whom there has been no sign of life since the accident 12 days ago.

Hopefully they're alive and can be rescued soon.

Families grieved over the weekend as Mexican officials announced a months-long plan to recover 10 trapped workers' bodies from a collapsed coal mine.

:rose: Sad it will take almost a year to recover the bodies so no chance of survival for those 10 trapped miners.
