Mark Dickey Rescued: US cave explorer extricated after 9 days from one of Turkey's deepest caves
A dramatic and complex international rescue operation to save an American man from one of Turkey’s deepest caves ended successfully on Tuesday – more than a week after after he fell seriously ill and became too frail to make his own way out.
An accomplished and experienced caver, Mark Dickey, 40 year of age, had been part of a research group on an exploration mission in the Morca Cave when he reportedly began suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding and lost three liters of blood.
He was part of an expedition that was exploring the Morca cave, which he entered on Aug.
30.
After he became ill, a member of his party made the harrowing, hours long climb to the surface and alerted authorities on Sept.
2.
The cave is located in the Taurus Mountain range in southern Turkey and reaches depths of up to 1,276 meters (4,186 feet).

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has ignited outrage after equating Turkey with Hamas, following Ankara’s decision to cut all trade ties, close airspace, and shut ports to Israel. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, intensifying tensions. President Erdoğan, who has long defended Hamas, compared Netanyahu to Hitler while slamming Israel as a “terror state.” Ben-Gvir, notorious for incendiary remarks, has previously called for shooting women and children. Hamas praised Turkey’s move, urging other nations to impose similar bans.

Russia has escalated tensions by bombing the Turkish-built Bayraktar drone factory in Kyiv, dragging NATO-member Turkey deeper into the Ukraine war. Two missiles struck the nearly completed facility, causing severe damage, according to Kyiv city council member Igor Zinkevich. The Baykar factory was designed to produce Bayraktar combat drones, widely used by Ukraine against Russian forces. Despite earlier strikes, Baykar had invested millions and trained staff for production. Moscow’s attack underscores its strategy to Cripple Ukraine’s drone industry as the war intensifies.
