Afghan rescue teams are digging an open slit trench from an angle at the surface to try to reach the place where the boy has been trapped, local sources said.
A video taken by rescuers who lowered a camera down the well shows the boy crying while waiting to be rescued at the bottom of 33ft well.
It comes just two weeks after the death of five-year-old Rayan Awram after spending over 100 hours trapped in a well in Ighran village in Tamorot commune, Chefchaouen Province, Morocco.
Rescue attempts were delayed by the narrow well and fragile ground. A separate trench was dug to access the bottom of the well, although when rescuers reached Awram on 5 February it was discovered that he had died. (ILKHA)
