Two-year-old boy trapped in 250-ft borehole for a week as teams continue to dig tunnel to rescue him
Many bated breaths across the world are lending support under the hashtag 'MimanoaJulen' (#MyHandtoJulen) as Spanish authorities race against time to rescue a 2-year-old boy, who fell in a narrow 250-feet borwell a week ago.
While the fate of Julen Rosello is unknown, rescuers said they were hoping against hope that the child is still surving as they desperately dig a parallel hole to the borewell to get him out.
Angel Garcia, engineer in charge of the search and rescue teams, said, "Right now it's as if Julen was the child of us all. If your child was there you'd do everything you could to look for him, wouldn't you!! Well, we're doing everything we can too."
Rescue operations kicked in last Sunday afternoon after the two-year-old was reported to have fallen in the borewell on his family-owned land located north east of the Costa del Sol capital of Malaga.
