Moroccans were still waiting anxiously on Friday morning as rescuers continued their operation overnight. Officials said early Friday morning there was less than 20ft left to dig to reach the five-year-old boy.
He is said to have fallen down the 100ft well on Tuesday, and has now been trapped there for over 48 hours. Rescuers were unable to reach him down the narrow shaft, so were forced to launch a digging operation.
Pictures and video from the scene showed multiple diggers delving deep into the earth to reach the boy. The boy has been sent water and oxygen but rescuers are in a race against time to save the young child.
Pictures have emerged of a five year old boy trapped at the bottom of a well shaft in Morocco after he miraculously survived a 100ft fall on Tuesday.
Camera footage from a frantic rescue operation showed the boy lying at the bottom of the shaft with a rope which rescuers used to transport water and oxygen in a desperate attempt to keep him alive.
The operation to save the young boy’s life entered its third day today, with Moroccans still waiting anxiously on Friday morning after authorities and firefighters continued to dig a trench parallel to the well in an attempt to pull him out.
Authorities said the mission was nearing its end overnight, with spokespeople reporting around 3am GMT that there was less than 20ft of earth left to dig to reach him.
The five-year-old, named as Rayan, fell down the narrow 100-foot (32-metre) deep well on Tuesday evening in his home village of Ighran near Bab Berred in the rural northern province of Chefchaouen, local media said.
Pictures from the scene overnight showed multiple diggers delving deep into the earth from multiple directions in order to reach the boy, as small crowds gathered on the edge of the ever-growing pit.
