Significant progress has been made to rescue an American man who has been trapped in Turkey's third deepest cave complex for More Than a week.

Over 150 people have been involved in efforts to save Mark Dickey after he developed stomach problems in the Morca Cave on 2 September.

He has now been lifted around 1,000m (3,280ft) and is More Than halfway out.

Rescuers hope he will reach The Surface sometime on Monday evening or on Tuesday local time.

" Mark reached The Last 180 meters at 16:26 CET [1526 GMT], " the Turkish Caving Federation, which is involved in The Rescue operation, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday.

" Now he will rest here for a while. "

The medical coordinator for The Mission , Tulga Sener, on Monday described Mr Dickey's general health as " very good" despite him being unable to eat.

" He is being fed intravenously all The Way through and at the camps In Between and the necessary liquids and medications are being given for his stomach and his general health condition, " Mr Sener said.

While Mr Dickey has now made it most of the Way Out of The Cave , The Remaining distance may be difficult to navigate.

" It's a very particular phase of cave here because there are so many slopes, it's a bit tricky, " said Giuseppe Conti from the European Cave Rescue Association.

" Then there is a piece, I don't know, I don't remember how many metres, but anyway this is flooded - a bit flooded, a bit. "

A Number of rescue workers from several other countries, including Croatia and Hungary, have flown to Turkey to assist in The Rescue .

Mr Dickey's fiancée, Jessica Van Ord, is also helping. She had remained in The Cave with him while he was unwell but later climbed out.

On Thursday evening, in a video message from inside The Cave , Mr Dickey thanked The People attempting to rescue him.

" I do know that The Quick response of the Turkish government to get the medical supplies that I need, in my opinion, saved My Life . I was very close to The Edge , " He Said .

Mark Dickey, who hails from New Jersey , is said to be a hardened caver with over 20 years' experience.

He has been an instructor with the US National Cave Rescue Commission for 10 Years , teaching a variety of cave rescue classes. He is also listed as The Body 's International Exchange Program Coordinator on its website.
