The sun rises in Morocco Saturday during the nerve-wracking final stages of a massive rescue operation to free Rayan, a five-year-old boy trapped down a well since Tuesday. The complex and risky earth-moving operation has gripped residents of the North African kingdom and even sparked sympathy in neighbouring Algeria, a regional rival. Rayan fell some 32 metres (100 feet) down the empty shaft in the remote village of Ighrane in Chefchaouen province on Tuesday afternoon. IMAGES

Moroccans wait anxiously as a dramatic operation to rescue a young boy trapped in a deep well for over two days is nearing its end. The five-year-old, named as Rayan, fell down the narrow 32-metre (100-foot) deep well on Tuesday evening in his home village near Bab Berred in the rural northern province of Chefchaouen.
