Algerian boy trapped in well for days found dead
Rescue operations ongoing for boy trapped in Algerian well
An Algerian boy, identified as Ayoub, was tragically found dead Saturday evening after being trapped in an 80-metre-deep well for four days, according to civil protection authorities. The desperate rescue operation had garnered widespread attention across the nation, with social media filled with pleas to save the young boy. The well, located in the desert municipality of Brezina in El Bayadh province, near Algiers, was dry and dug using traditional methods, measuring only 40 centimetres in diameter – a challenge that complicated rescue efforts.
Despite heavy machinery being deployed, rescuers struggled to reach the boy due to the thick layer of soil surrounding him.
