I couldn't understand the missing words. Could you please help me?

(0:16) So they are getting ? medical treatment before being pulled out of the cave hopefully over the next couple of hours.

(0:29) The emergency services must be so ?

(0:47) They alway knew that they would find the boys .... I would find the boys.

(0:29) The emergency services must be so relieved.

(0:47) They always knew that they would find these boys—or they, they were led to believe that they would find these boys.

I can't catch the first one.

It sounds like getting and receive, which doesn't make that much sense or add to the meaning, but speech is full of such things.

At 0:16, I think he says "... they're getting ... gonna receive ... medical treatment".

May I ask what the accent of the man is? Where is he from? He was really difficult to understand. Even it is more difficult than UK accent.

Yes, I think he's Australian. The caption says he's called Mark Phillips and he's a cameraman and reporter for CNN. A quick Google search of his name and "CNN cameraman" came up with a couple of sites with clear Australian links and a Twitter account showing he's based in Thailand.
