RABAT—Rescuers were delicately removing rocks on Saturday as they dug towards a young boy who has been trapped for five days in a well in northern Morocco, a dangerous operation constantly imperiled by the threat of landslides.
Workers with mechanical diggers have been trying round the clock to rescue the 5-year-old child, identified just as Rayan, after he fell into a 32-meter (100-foot) deep well in the hills near Chefchaouen on Tuesday.
