a strong mobilization in support of little Rayan, who fell into a well

The whole of Morocco scrutinizes minute by minute the rescue attempt of little Rayan, 5 years old, stuck since Tuesday February 1 at the bottom of a well 32 meters deep, in the province of Chefchaouen, in the north of the country. His misadventure even arouses emotion beyond Moroccan borders.

In addition to the support displayed by great footballers from the Maghreb such as the Algerian Riyad Mahrez or the Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, a hashtag “save Rayan” has become one of the most relayed on Twitter in recent hours. The rescue is still in progress, the narrowness of the well making the operation difficult. Rescuers say they managed to communicate with the little boy. They were also able to allow him to use oxygen and water, allowing him to sustain life.
