Members of the CNSAS, Italian alpine and speleological rescuers, carry a stretcher with American researcher Mark Dickey during a rescue operation in the Morca cave, near Anamur, southern Turkey, Monday, Sept. 11, 2023. A rescue operation is underway in Turkey’s Taurus Mountains to bring out an American researcher who fell seriously ill at a depth of some 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) from the entrance of one of world’s deepest caves last week and was unable to climb out himself. Mark Dickey is being assisted by international rescuers who by Monday had brought him up to 300 meters (nearly 1,000 feet). (CNSAS Via AP)

It was one of the largest and most complicated underground rescues ever mounted, organisers said. It involved navigating through tight rock tunnels and explosives were also required at the narrowest points. Reuters
Mr Dickey was brought out of the cave at 00:37 local time, the Turkish Caving Federation said. Rescue workers from several other countries, including Croatia and Hungary, flew to Turkey to assist in the rescue. Reuters

Mr Dickey had been co-leading a team to map new passages inside the cave when he began to suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding. He was given a blood transfusion and his condition improved. He was then strapped to a stretcher and carried out. Reuters
