Boy, 6, trapped 33ft down Afghan well as rescuers in race against time to save him

A six-year-old boy has been trapped down a 33ft well in Afghanistan for the last two days as rescuers worked hard to save him.

In scenes reminiscent to those in Morocco two weeks ago where five-year-old Rayan Awram was trapped and ultimately found dead, emergency workers are trying to reach the boy before it is too late.

The youngster, named by locals as Haidar, has been stuck down the well in a remote Afghani village of Shokok in the south of the country.
