Mark Dickey, the 40-year-old experienced caver, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rescue-operation-begins-for-american-stuck-3000-feet-underground\/\" title=\"American trapped 3,000 feet underground, rescue underway.\">began experiencing stomach bleeding<\/a> and \u2064vomiting on September 2nd during\u200d an expedition\u200c in the Morca cave in southern Turkey\u2019s Taurus \u200bMountains.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/search-and-rescue-teams-at-site-of-indonesian-plane-crash\/\" title=\"Search and rescue teams at site of Indonesian plane crash\">rescue operation<\/a>, which involves pulling \u2063Dickey&#8217;s stretcher through narrow passages, is expected to take several days. Along the \u2063way, Dickey will\u2063 have to rest\u200c frequently at camps set up by the rescuers. The operation to move him from his camp at 1040 meters to the camp at 700 meters has already begun, according to Turkey\u2019s Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate.<\/p>\n<p>Rescuers from various European countries,\u2062 including doctors, paramedics, and experienced cavers, have rushed to assist Dickey. A Hungarian doctor treated him inside the \u200ccave, providing IV fluids and\u200b a gallon \u2063of blood. Teams comprising \u2064a doctor and several others are taking turns to stay with Dickey\u200d at all times.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 190 personnel from eight countries are involved in \u2064the \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/at-least-eight-climbers-killed-in-iran-more-missing-after-heavy-snowfall\/\" title=\"At least eight climbers killed in Iran, more missing after heavy snowfall\">rescue effort<\/a>, with 153 of them being search and rescue experts.

If he feels well, the process\u200c will be faster, but if his condition worsens, it may take up to 10 days to bring him out of the \u200dcave on a stretcher.\u2062 Yusuf Ogrenecek of the Speleological Federation of \u200cTurkey highlighted the \u200bchallenges \u2062of widening the narrow cave passages to\u2064 allow \u200cstretcher lines to pass through at low depths.<\/p>\n<p>Federico Catania, a spokesman \u2062for Italy\u2019s National Alpine \u200cand\u2063 Speleological Rescue, described the cave as one of the deepest in\u200b the world, with many vertical shafts and few \u200bhorizontal sections. Turkish authorities have released a video message \u2064showing Dickey standing and\u2064 moving around, expressing his need for help to get out of the \u200dcave and thanking the caving community and the Turkish government for their rescue efforts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\">The Western Journal has reviewed this Associated Press story and may have altered it \u2063prior to publication to ensure that \u200dit meets our editorial standards.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rescue-operation-begins-american-stuck-3000-feet-underground\/\">Rescue Operation Begins for American Stuck\u2063 3,000 Feet\u2062 Underground<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rescue teams started the challenging task on Saturday of saving an American researcher who fell seriously ill 3,000 feet inside a Turkish cave.
