A catastrophe moved the world

The tragedy of the fall of Rayan (5 years old) into a narrow well at a depth of about 32 meters and a diameter of about 45 centimeters, next to his house in the village of Igrane, on the outskirts of the city of Chefchaouen, on February 1 last year, aroused global sympathy and wide follow-up from various international media. Heads of state, princes, and celebrities in the field of art and sports interacted with his story.

The rescue efforts, which were watched by millions through live broadcasts on websites and channels, and continued until the fifth of the same month, held their breath, but ended with the child being removed dead, which shocked and shocked those millions.

The Moroccan authorities carried out a difficult and complex rescue operation due to the nature of the soil in the area, as they initially resorted to digging with machines until the rescuers became in a parallel line with the child Rayan, so that the manual digging process began with caution for fear of soil erosion, but all these efforts did not result in any results. Save the child alive.

Activists on social media interacted with the announcement of a new baby to the family of Rayan Oram, as they expressed their happiness and congratulations to the family, and their hope that this newborn would bring happiness to the hearts of his parents and siblings.


Law not to repeat the tragedy

After the tragedy, the Moroccan government carried out the process of counting abandoned wells and waterholes and closed them, while it approved a proposal for a law submitted by the Socialist Group in the House of Representatives to reduce accidents of falling into waterholes and provide safety conditions for workshops drilling wells and holes.

The parliamentary team said that the aim of this law is "not to repeat the suffering and tragedy of baby Ryan."

The Council of Advisors (the second chamber of the Moroccan Parliament) approved in mid-January, during a legislative plenary session, unanimously to amend a law related to water after it was referred to it by the first chamber of Parliament.

According to a statement by the Council of Advisors, this legislative initiative aims to add safety conditions to workshops for digging wells and completing boreholes, whether at the completion or exploitation stage or after stopping their exploitation.

The statement indicated that the proposed law seeks to enact legal requirements to reduce the accidents of falling into water holes, by obligating everyone who did not work, while carrying out the work of digging a well or completing a water hole, or while exploiting their waters or after dispensing with their exploitation, to complete equipment. Safety that would prevent risks associated with drilling and exploitation works and abandoning the well or drilling, without providing safety conditions, by paying financial fines.
