Little is missing to rescue little Ryan, the 5-year-old boy who fell into a well that dried up last Tuesday while he was playing in the fields, close to home, in the village of Tamrout, north of Morocco. A 32-meter flight between walls that were twenty centimeters narrow that somehow slowed the crash.
"Ryan is alive, we will get him out today," announces the director of rescue operations, engineer Mourad Al Jazouli. For days, a real race against time has been held to save the little one.
AID - A few hours ago the tunnel excavated by the rescuers was completed and the rescue operation entered its most delicate phase. A team of doctors also entered the tunnel, ready to provide first aid to the 5-year-old child.
Ryan moves, while his father confirms: "I spoke to him on the radio, I heard his breath, he is breathing hard, but he is alive."
There is also a helicopter from the Moroccan Royal Gendarmerie, ready to transport the child to the hospital. The rocky obstacle is almost completely overcome, the engineers say.
PRAYERS - All around and in the more than 60,000 mosques of Morocco, people pray aloud, day and night. As always, there are those who speculate: there are those who, taking advantage of the wave of emotion aroused by the case, have created T-shirts that sell for 16 euros.
And the woman who in recent days had created a fake Twitter profile and had communicated the false news of Ryan's death was arrested. The judicial police tracked her down and stopped her in less than 12 hours.
