Authorities are 'very, very keen to find him, for his sake and the sake of the island', as the 'very intense' search resumes.
Today is a 'key day' in the search for a British teenager who has been missing in Tenerife since Monday morning, with search and rescue teams hoping 'to have good news', a journalist on the island has said. Jay Slater, from Lancashire, who was holidaying with friends, was last seen on a night out in Tenerife on Sunday evening, having been to the NRG music festival.
The area where he is believed to have gone missing is a 'dry, arid, part of the island', and, given its volcanic origins, has 'ravines and gullies', Ms O'Flynn said, warning there are 'no lakes, rivers or streams, so it would be quite hard for him to access fresh water'. Ms Law said Mr Slater, from Oswaldtwistle, near Blackburn, told her he had got lost and needed water and had 'cut his leg on a cactus'.
