Breaking news! The days of waiting in the İğran Village of Temurt Town, in the rural area of Şafşavan City in the north of Morocco, resulted in sad news.
Rayan, a 5-year-old Moroccan boy who fell into a 32-meter borehole near their house on Tuesday, February 1 at 15:00 Moroccan time, was pulled out of the well after days of rescue efforts. Rayan was declared dead. The body of the little boy was taken to the ambulance through the corridor created under the intense security measures of the police and gendarmerie.
KING MEETS THE FAMILY OF THE LITTLE CHILD
In the statement made by the Moroccan Royal Palace, it was stated that King Mohammed VI made a phone call with the family of the little boy.
After all attempts to reach 5-year-old Rayan, who fell into a borehole near their home last Tuesday, failed, excavations at a depth equivalent to the well began on Wednesday morning. With the help of a camera lowered into the well, it was determined that Rayan was alive but injured. In addition, oxygen was given into the well so that the little boy would not be suffocated.
LOOKED WIDELY IN THE WORLD PRESS
The efforts to rescue Rayan became the most important agenda item in Morocco in a short time, and the event received wide coverage in the world press. Support campaigns were repeatedly launched on social media as people from all over the world prayed for Rayan. With the spread of the news, a large crowd formed in the excavation area.
LIFE BODY REACHED AFTER 103 HOURS
The excavation with bulldozers and construction equipment continued until Friday evening due to the difficulties arising from the ground and occasional landslides. Later, it was started to be excavated manually with human power in the horizontal plane. Despite possible landslides, progress was made by tunneling with large and wide pipes. After 103 hours, the lifeless body of little Rayan was found. The paramedics waiting at the entrance of the tunnel opening to the well gave Rayan the first aid and took him to the ambulance. Everyone waiting for the good news, especially his family and rescuers, was mourned. (UAV)
