The teams used manual equipment and were assisted by local well-diggers in the manual digging work to speed up the digging process in the rocky terrain.
Simultaneously, the rescue teams continued digging and pumping oxygen into the well to ensure that the trapped woman, identified by the Civil Defense as having special needs, did not suffocate, according to Syria TV.
The Civil Defense called on residents to be cautious of open wells, especially in areas where civilians have recently returned. They urged them to close and secure these wells properly and to report any open or abandoned wells to the teams for proper handling and securing.
