A 10-year-old boy, Ayoub, has been found dead after spending four days trapped inside an 80-metre-deep well near his home in Brezina, in El Bayadh province. The recovery brings an end to the multi-day incident that left the child trapped at depth.
Rescuers recovered the body following the four days the boy spent inside the well. The site was an 80-metre-deep shaft located close to Ayoub's home in Brezina, El Bayadh province, where the child became trapped and could not be reached until the recovery effort succeeded.
The outcome confirms that Ayoub did not survive the period he was trapped. The recovery was completed amid efforts centred on the well close to his residence, with rescuers eventually retrieving the boy's body from the depth where he had been trapped for four days.
