The rescue operation for Rayan, a 5-year-old child who fell into a 32-meter pit in Tamorot commune (Chefchaouen province), has reached a very advanced stage.
Rescue efforts, which are still ongoing, have reached a very advanced stage, local authorities said, noting that it is difficult to determine the time needed for the end of the operation, due to the nature of the soil remaining to be dug in the horizontal gap which connects the well and the parallel hole.
A medical helicopter from the Royal Gendarmerie and medical staff specializing in resuscitation are also deployed on the scene, in order to take care of Rayan after being rescued, said the same source.
The response and rescue teams have remained on the scene since the incident and encountered several difficulties, including the landslide and the presence of boulders in some layers, the same source said.
