The emotion of the death of little Rayan, a 5-year-old child who fell into a well in Morocco, barely subsided, the world learned yesterday that a young Afghan had suffered the same accident on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, even if help arrived faster alongside the child, named Haïdar, the boy did not survive either, announced the Taliban authorities.
He "has left us forever," tweeted Anas Haqqani, senior adviser to the Interior Ministry.
"This is another day of mourning and grief for our country."
He wanted to help the adults drill a new well
Haidar "is no longer with us", confirmed, also on Twitter, Abdullah Azzam, secretary to the Deputy Prime Minister, Abdul Ghani Baradar.
Rescuers reached Friday morning the child, who had slipped to the bottom of this earthen pit in the village of Shokak, located in the province of Zabul, about 400 km southwest of the capital Kabul.
He was still alive and "breathing" when they arrived at his side, said Zabiullah Jawhar, the Zabul police spokesman.
“The medical team gave him oxygen.
But when she tried to take him to the helicopter, he lost his life,” he added.
Haidar's grandfather, Haji Abdul Hadi, 50, said the child fell into the pit while trying to "help" the adults drill a new well in the drought-ravaged village.
According to official sources, the child slipped into this 25m deep hole, before being pulled with the help of a rope to a depth of about ten meters, where he found himself stuck .
