Emotional Rescue Ending In Heartbreak

The rescue efforts have gripped the world’s attention as workers race against time to pull him out.

He was trapped for five days as massive rescuers were hampered by fears of a landslide.

They gave him food and water through an umbilical cord, and monitored him through video.

Late Saturday night, the Royal Moroccan Palace confirmed Rayan had breathed his last shortly after he was successfully removed and taken to a nearby hospital.
