How rescuing mission went!
Moroccan rescuers were racing against the clock and working through the days and nights to save the young boy who fall into the deep well. Hundreds of thousands anxiously follow the rescue operation through a live broadcast.
Diggers were working hard to create a hole next to the narrow well to save Rayan without hurting him. Because of the depth and diameter of the location where he was trapped. The attempts to drag him out were so complicated.
They couldn’t rescue him directly by sending someone down because the well was too narrow. They even couldn’t dig close to the shaft for fear of collapsing its walls. So the workers were forced to move carefully to avoid injuring the boy.
