- The operation to rescue Rayan, 5, who fell down a 32-metre well in the town of Bab Barred, involved digging an equally deep hole alongside the narrow shaft and tunneling across about three meters to reach the boy.
- The story began when the child Rayan fell into a deep well 32 meters deep, in the village of Agran in the Chefchaouen province, in northern Morocco. The Moroccan authorities used advanced tools to search for the child, such as a camera that was inserted into the well, and what it observed appears on a nearby screen. The difficulty of the rescue operation lies in the narrowness of the well, as the videos show, as a civil defense member barely got into it, relying on a rope tied with a pulley. Rescue operations did not stop at the inside of the well, as the authorities brought in a large bulldozer that began digging in the ocean, in order to reach the child and rescue through a horizontal search, not a vertical search. Previous attempts by volunteers to retrieve the child from the well failed due to his narrowness.—Taha El Hakem
