The five-year-old boy is believed to have fallen into the well in a remote village while helping adults dig a borehole
Rescuers were desperately scrambling to reach a five-year-old boy trapped for two days down a well in a remote southern Afghan village.
The operation in Shokak village, Zabul province, comes less than two weeks after a similar attempt to rescue a child from a Moroccan well gripped the world – but ended with the boy found dead.
