I was hoping little Rayan would be out this morning (PST). Such a delicate and dangerous operation. Let it be very soon. Let him survive this.

It looks like they are getting close...putting pipe in to shore up the tunnel maybe?

I believe this is live video. It's 6:23 pm in Morocco now. I wonder whether they will use those cylindrical concrete pipes.

I have watched this for almost 12 hours now so soon it is my turn to go to sleep and I really want him out of there safe before I do.

Local authorities have reached a crucial and final phase in the rescue of 5-year old Rayan, as three rescuers have started to carefully dig horizontally for eight meters while using four pipes. #morocco #saverayan #أنقذوا_ريان #انقذوا_ريان_من_البئر #chefchaouen #rayan

I’ve just had a mooch round Twitter and found a photo of the gorgeous little chap. There is also a clip of him down the well, you can see his face/head is bleeding, but he’s breathing and has apparently had food and drink. My heart hurts to think of him down there on now the 4th day.

"Het laatste bericht is dat ze op 50cm bij hem vandaan zijn."
I hope this is true.
The latest info is that they are 50 cm away from reaching Rayan.

I heard that 3 or 4 hours ago, I think they are really close but are getting the pipes in place before they break through, they have been talking about collapses.

It's hard to know what's real time, so many repeats of previous info.

I leave it to you now and will go to bed, my brain hurts

EDIT: He’s not out. Sorry guys. The Moroccan authorities have said the video is fake

I feel like this is going to keep me awake tonight. Seems they’re digging the last bit by hand to avoid any complications or injuries.

I think I’m watching a live stream on Twitter ( I’m never sure!) & I’ve not seen him brought out, or heard a commotion yet.
The time is 9.53pm which is correct at time of posting.

Haven’t heard any updates on the child’s condition for quite a few hours.

Praying he’s hanging on to life, but it’s been a long time if injured & hypothermic, for such a tiny child.

Yes it’s 10pm there now and overnight temps are 7-10C. Poor little love. His parents must be going through hell.

Please let this one end well.

Aww no, can't believe he is still down there. I hope and pray he can hang on. He must be so cold and scared. Please Dear Lord, protect that sweet child, Amen.

The latest difficulty is that the posts they have placed in order to stabilize slopes from collapsing did not hold. I saw a video while they were preparing these earlier today (night there), but can't find it now.

They are so close but this last bit is so dangerous.
