The boy died after being released from a well in Afghanistan

He died tThe 5-year-old boy who had been trapped since Tuesday in a dry well in southeastern Afghanistan, as announced by Taliban officials. The child, named Haidar, “left us forever”, wrote on Twitter Anas Hakani, advisor to the Ministry of Interior. “It is another day of mourning and pain for our country,” he added.

Haidar is “no longer with us,” Abdullah Azam, secretary of the Taliban’s deputy prime minister, Abdul Ghani Baradar, confirmed on Twitter.

Rescuers arrived this morning at the child, who had fallen into this well located in the village of Sokak in Zambul province.

When they approached him, the child was still alive, but his “state of health” was “not good” and he needed “first aid on the spot”, explained Ahmadullah Wasik, a deputy spokesman for the Taliban government.

The accident is reminiscent of the case of 5-year-old Ryan in Morocco, who had fallen into a well and was found deadafter an operation that lasted five days to rescue him.

Haidar’s grandfather, 50-year-old Haji Abdul Hadi, explained that the child fell into the hole of the well as he tried to “help” the adults to open a new well in his drought-stricken village.

According to official sources, the child slipped into this hole, 25 meters deep, before being pulled with the help of a rope to a depth of 10 meters, where he was trapped.
