OutcomeAourram's death

On 1 February 2022, five-year-old Moroccan boy Rayan Aourram (Berber languages: ⵕⴰⵢⴰⵏ ⴰⵡⵕⴰⵎ; Arabic: ريان أورام) fell into a 32-metre (105 ft) dry well in Ighran village in Tamorot commune, Chefchaouen Province, Morocco.

Rescue attempts were delayed by the narrow well and fragile ground. A separate trench was dug to access the bottom of the well, although when rescuers reached Aourram on 5 February it was discovered that he had died.
