And maybe some good news?

"Just in : Rescue team member: The news that baby Ryan was injured is incorrect."

Oh I do hope so
Thank you @Webbie2021

You're welcome!

It sounds like they were doing a drill to practice the rescue, and I wonder if the list of injuries was actually a hypothetical, e.g. "for the purpose of the drill, proceed as though he has a spinal cord injury, a head injury and multiple broken bones." (My opinion only.)

This is the man who has been there since day 1. The man in the blue top, without a helmet. He was personally digging out with his hands. You could see him on the site every day. I believe he is the boy's uncle (had read that a few days ago).

And even this quotes the uncle as saying “Yes he’s safe now “…. Please God let’s hope that’s true

Yes I see where you are coming from and that makes sense

The fact that Ali was smiling and resting has to mean something right?

I sincerely hope so
And there was an official looking guy who came from near the hole and walked towards the cameras and crowds , away from the hole and he was shaking hands and patting arms which to me looked like he was congratulating a job well done?
I have just screenshot shot this though ……

As @Webbie2021 postulated:
14m
Shifae
the news of the medical team entering were confusing because, as abdelhadi tamarani, member of the rescue team says, there were JUST TRIALS of the entrance of the medical team so they’ll be ready in case rayan is reached. #SaveRayan #أنقذوا_ريان

The languages as well as unusual phrasing and words (unusual to English speaking folks) are making this difficult to follow.

"we are waiting ... just waiting until a member or a responsible from the rescue team comes with some new updates. "

This image shows a wider picture of the scene. Shows how much earth they’ve had to move to get that far (100ft) down.



EDIT and an even wider view.

This live feed now showing a lot of chanting and praying (sounds celebratory / positive?)

They are praying and it is beautiful, I joined in bcs I love to sing

 

[whitelilac]

Ambulance is waiting, rescuers lined up.
I hope this is positive. People cheered as well.

It's nearly 7am in Aus and I'm not sure how much longer I can stay awake for. So if I disappear, I'm sleeping.

OH MY GOODNESS- These rescuers are heroes

 

[Wild Rose]

They pray at many different times of the day. The times change daily and are dictated by the sun. Many have their cell phones set to show when. They try to pray together and it has been shown that their hearts synchronize as they pray together. Covid has been certainly difficult for their community. Some of these prayers that you hear are at these determined times usually in the mosque, and I am sure they are for Rayan and his family, the rescuers and all who suffer.

You are so appreciated, thank you for all the updates <3
