A child who wastrapped 50ft down a 500ft well for more than 50 hours has sadly died.
18-month-old Aarohi was said to be playing in the fields when she tumbled into the deep hole at around midday Friday in Suragpura, Amreli district, India.
Local sources said: ‘Bystanders were sending oxygen through pipes to help her breathe. Nearby, an ambulance stood ready – a beacon of hope amidst the tense rescue operation.’
She was said to be stuck part way down the narrow 8 inch wide pipe.
The Civil administration, fire department and ambulance services attended the scene to assist the rescue mission, as well as a team from the army.
Sadly, the girl showed no signs of life when she was finally brought back to the surface.

A similar incident happened last year in Thailand, when a toddler who was trapped down a well in Thailand was freed after an 18-hour rescue operation.
A picture from inside the extremely narrow well showed the 19-month-old girl, named Tasa Mo-ei, with her arms wrapped tightly around herself.
The Bangkok Post reported she was around 50ft down the well that was just one foot wide.
According to local media, Tasa was ‘shocked and upset but otherwise safe’, and was immediately taken to Phop Phra hospital.
