manhole accident in Doha

What a nightmare for the parents ! A little Indian boy is floating between life and  death  in Hamad hospital . He had fallen into an uncovered manhole while walking with his family some meter ahead of their parents ! The manhole was full of sewage water and 5.5m deep . A rescuer went down to take him up risking his own life and health .
I wish so much that this little child could be saved !
Similar accident had happened not long ago .Walking in Doha has its own dangers .Newcomers may not understand the risk .The whole city is under construction and transformation . Uncovered manholes ,uncovered lamp posts speeding cars had caused accidents .Hold your child's hand tight when you walk !

Update

Numbers in Qatar - 80

 Eighty is the number of pedestrians killed on the roads of Qatar per year . It is very clear that the country should be more pedestrian friendly . They should build bridges or underground  paths for pedestrians at the major junctions / at the places where most accident happens .
It is not something new . At the Hamad Hospital - Lulu  every year 5 -6 or  more people die when walking accross  the  road . Still nothing  has been done to prevent those accidents .
