Rescue Efforts Underway for Five Trapped in Slovenian Cave

Group in Good Condition as Rescuers Wait for Water Levels to Decrease

Five individuals, including three tourists and two guides, have been trapped in the Križna Jama cave in Slovenia since Saturday due to rising water levels following heavy rainfall.
Rescue divers have successfully reached the group and moved them to a safe area within the cave, where they have set up a heated shelter and provided food and water.
The group is in good physical and mental condition, but cannot be evacuated until the water levels decrease.
Rescue efforts involve 35 cave rescuers and eight divers from across Slovenia, with additional support from 11 firefighters and members of the civil protection force.
The Križna Jama cave, known for its chain of underground lakes, is a popular tourist destination and the fourth most biodiverse known cave ecosystem in the world.
