This video shows rescuers lifting a six-year-old boy out of a pit toilet after he fell 13 feet into the faeces-filled hole.

The emergency services received a report of a boy who fell into a four-metre (13-foot) deep pit latrine in the courtyard of a house in the community of Temirlan in the district of Ordabasy located in the Kazakh region of Turkistan on 23rd January.

The video, which was shared by the Press Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, shows several men lifting the youngster out of the pit while a woman tries to calm him down.

As the whimpering lad is lifted through the small hole, the rescuers tell him to raise his arms before grabbing hold of him and lifting him out.

After being pulled out of the pit, the boy starts to cry from fright and the rescuers tell him: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”

According to the statement obtained by Newsflash, the rescue operation involved five rescuers of the Department of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan’s Turkistan region and three ambulance workers.

The statement said: “After the rescuers pulled the child out with a rescue rope, they handed him over to ambulance staff. After a doctor examined the child, he was sent home. The child’s condition is currently stable.”

Following the rescue, the Ministry of Emergency Situations urged parents to never leave their children unattended.
