Algerian boy trapped in well for days found dead
Rescuers said the 10-year-old was found dead after four days, as a 40-centimeter-wide shaft and soil blocked access.
- On Saturday, Algerian emergency workers recovered the body of 10-year-old Ayoub Hadaf from an 80m-deep well in El Bayadh province, ending a four-day rescue operation.
- Ayoub fell into the dry well at a farm in Ghassoul after the Algerian government mobilized resources and continued drilling operations for four consecutive days.
- The 80-metre deep well was only 40cm in diameter, complicating rescue efforts as rescuers struggled to reach the boy because he was "trapped beneath a thick layer of soil."
- Algerian Civil Defense spokesperson Nassim Bernaoui reported the operation used a parallel vertical shaft and excavation, though civil protection officials announced "the child was found and recovered dead."
- The tragedy drew widespread attention across Algeria, while eyewitnesses noted the well had been covered but its lining had eroded over time, raising safety concerns.
