A five-year-old boy trapped for three days down a well in a remote Afghan village died moments after being pulled out alive, officials said Friday.
The child, named Haidar, slipped on Tuesday to the bottom of a well in Shokak, a parched village in Zabul province, around 400 kilometers southwest of the capital Kabul.
Zabul police spokesman Zabiullah Jawhar stated that Haidar was clinging to life when rescuers reached him.
The operation comes around two weeks after a similar attempt to rescue Moroccan boy Rayan from a well. The incident that gripped the world ended with the child being found dead.
