On Sunday, rescuers were still attempting to free Rayan, a five-year-old Moroccan boy, from the deep shaft where he has been trapped since last Tuesday — an operation that has attracted international attention. The five-year-old is from the secluded town of Ighrane in the north African monarchy’s Chefchaouen region. The delay in the rescue effort has been attributed to an increased danger of landslides, according to rescue officials.
Rayan, who is from the rural town of Ighrane in the north African monarchy’s Chefchaouen region, plunged 32 meters down a narrow, empty shaft near his house. The US Embassy in Morocco also sent out messages wishing him a speedy recovery.
