American Man Rescued from Turkish Cave After 12-Day Ordeal

An American caver, Mark Dickey, has been rescued by emergency workers in southern Turkey after being trapped for several days in a cave. The rescue operation involved at least 200 aid workers from different countries, including the United States, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, and Turkey. Dickey had been suffering from suspected gastrointestinal bleeding while inside the 1,276-meter-deep Morca Sinkhole. The rescue teams successfully retrieved him from the cave, and he is now being transported to a hospital for further treatment.
