Rescuers are rushing to save an American man trapped in the third deepest cave in Turkey after he became ill, the Turkish Caving Federation said.
Some 150 rescuers are involved in a “complex” operation to save Mark Dickey, who was part of a research team in Morca Valley, the Turkish Caving Federation said. The rescue operation was first announced on Monday.
Short movements will be required to carry Dickey out on a stretcher, Genc added. Caving rescue workers from several countries have arrived in Turkey to assist in the operation, including Hungarian, Italian, Croatian and American rescuers, according to Genc. The Hungarian Cave Rescue service said that Dickey suffered gastrointestinal bleeding. Six units of blood were delivered to him, said the Turkish federation.
