The Saudi authorities announced that they had filled in 2,450 abandoned wells throughout the kingdom and were continuing their efforts to fill in and fortify the rest of the similar wells, in a step they took after the tragedy of the Moroccan child Rayan, who was pulled dead from a well stuck in it for five days in an accident that shook the world.
Five-year-old Rayan fell last week into a dry well, 32 meters deep and narrow, inaccessible to the bottom, dug near his family’s home in the village of Igrane in northern Morocco.
And the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture announced on its Twitter account on Sunday evening that it “has managed to fill in and fortify 2,450 abandoned wells in the first phase, and continues to work to fill in the rest of the exposed wells”, “to ensure the safety of everyone and reduce groundwater pollution.”
And it confirmed that it had formed a “committee for each region to count the abandoned wells to ensure the safety of road pedestrians and hikers.”
Hundreds of wells are scattered throughout the desert kingdom, which residents dug randomly to obtain groundwater.
A number of Saudi residents posted pictures on Twitter showing open wells in several areas and appealed to the authorities to fill them in.
The death of the Moroccan child left a wave of grief and sorrow in his country and the world.
