Rescuers have successfully pulled a 19-month-old Myanmar girl from a 15-metre deep groundwater hole, where she had been trapped for over 17 hours.

 

Cheers of joy erupted when the child, helped by rescuers, emerged from the hole, was put on a stretcher and rushed to Phop Phra District Hospital for assessment and treatment.

 

Rescue team reached the girl at about 8am this morning (Tuesday), but they could not immediately pull her out because she appeared to have suffered leg injuries in the fall.

A baby girl has been rescued by authorities after she fell down a deep well in northern Thailand.

 

The 19-month-old child fell down the 13m (42ft) deep shaft while playing on Monday afternoon in Tak province, near the Myanmar border.

 

Authorities launched an overnight rescue operation after the girl's parents - who had been working in a nearby field - raised the alarm.

 

She was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries, officials said.
