Story summary

A 10-year-old boy, identified as *Ayoub*, was found dead after being trapped in a dry well for four days in Algeria. He fell into the well on Wednesday while walking home in the village of *Errokn*, and rescue efforts were hampered by the narrow diameter of the well, which was only 40cm. Despite attempting to reach him through a horizontal passage dug from the side, rescuers were unable to save Ayoub, and his body was recovered on September 5. The incident drew widespread attention and comparisons were made to similar cases in Algeria's history, including a 2018 rescue operation that lasted nine days.
