## Caption

When five-year-old Zainullah tumbled down a 70m-deep well in Afghanistan, rescuers were unable to reach him.
 
So, 11-year-old Hazrat was lowered down to attach a rope to the little boy.
 
The attempt to save the child was successful - but it highlights the risks children face in a country where drought is causing people to dig ever deeper in their search for water.
