The Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, offered, Saturday, his condolences to Rayan's family and the Moroccan people after the child was pulled out of the well and his death was announced after 5 days of attempts to rescue him.
Mohammed bin Rashid said on his official account on Twitter, "Our sincere condolences and sympathy to the family of the child Rayan.. and the brotherly Moroccan people..and to all humanity that grieved for his loss..may God have mercy on him and put him in his spacious gardens..and he inspired us all with patience and solace."
Moroccan rescue teams managed, this Saturday evening, to extricate the child Rayan, who was stuck in the bottom of a well 32 meters deep for 5 days on the outskirts of the city of Chefchaouen in northern Morocco.
A statement issued by the Moroccan Royal Office confirmed the death of the victim, but it was not indicated whether he died before reaching him or after.
The statement added that King Mohammed VI offered his condolences to the parents of the child Rayan.
This issue attracted very great global attention, as many world-famous personalities, and international football teams, such as Barcelona, Manchester United, and Chelsea, announced their solidarity with the child Rayan, who remained steadfast for more than 3 days without eating, as he was provided only with oxygen and water.
