A Spanish caver trapped at the bottom of a cliff in Morocco's High Atlas mountains died on Saturday, but rescuers were able to save two of his friends, officials said.
"The two persons who were injured received first aid and will be evacuated to a hospital, but the third caver has unfortunately died," MAP news agency reported, quoting local officials.
Moroccan emergency services had earlier Saturday launched an operation to rescue the three Spaniards after finding them alive, days after they were reported missing.
