SHOKAK , Feb 18 — A five-year-old boy trapped for three days down a remote Afghan village well died minutes after being pulled out today, following a rescue effort the country’s new Taliban rulers said showed they would spare nothing for their citizens.
“In the first minutes after the rescue operation was completed, he was breathing, and the medical team gave him oxygen,” he said.The operation comes around two weeks after a similar attempt to rescue a boy from a Moroccan well gripped the world — but ended with the child found dead. Senior officials from the Taliban’s newly installed government oversaw the rescue operation in Shokak, which was watched by hundreds of villagers — many related to the child.They despatched bulldozers and other earth-moving equipment to the site, as well as one of the country’s few airworthy helicopters in case he required medical evacuation to hospital.
Video shared yesterday on social media showed the boy wedged in the well but able to move his arms and upper body.
