The woman remained inside the well for many hours The woman was urgently transferred to the hospital

In a difficult humanitarian scene filled with moments of tension and anxiety, the Syrian Civil Defense teams successfully rescued a woman who fell into a deep well in the countryside of Manbij, eastern Aleppo, after a complex operation that lasted several hours under harsh field conditions.

According to the specialized teams, the incident took place in the village of Tahnata Kabira, where the woman fell into a well more than 70 meters deep, prompting an immediate mobilization of rescue teams who rushed to the scene and began a precise operation to reach the bottom.

The operation involved special equipment and rescue ropes, and one volunteer descended into the well in an attempt to reach the woman, before the team managed to pull her up with difficulty amid heavy concern from gathered residents.

Civil Defense personnel eventually managed to bring the woman out alive, and she was urgently transferred to the hospital for treatment after sustaining various injuries due to the fall and the harsh conditions inside the narrow well.

The teams confirmed that the rescue faced major challenges due to the depth and narrowness of the well and low oxygen levels at the bottom, making the mission highly complex and requiring careful procedures.

In conclusion, the Civil Defense renewed its warnings about the danger of leaving wells uncovered or unprotected, especially the locally known “ghuraz” wells, due to their extreme depth and narrow openings.
