Sudanese Boy Rescued After Eight Hours Trapped In Rubbish Lorry by Hermzou: 12:09am On Feb 16, 2022 |
A 10-year-old boy has been rescued after
spending eight hours in the crushing
mechanism of a rubbish lorry in Sudan's
capital, Khartoum.
The boy, identified by police as Majed
Mubarak Ibrahim, was working with a truck
run by the Khartoum State Cleaning
Corporation.
It is believed he was pulled into the lorry as
he threw in some rubbish.
He is now in hospital, but the police have
given no further details about his condition.
People shared photos on social media of
rescuers at work overnight trying to release
the boy.
Eyewitnesses said one of the child's palms
was visible - trapped in the hydraulic hatch.
One clip showed a welder at work, another
captured the arm of a digger being used to
try to force open the hatch .
A crowd of onlookers surrounded the vehicle -
some offering advice on how to free the child.
Social commentators say the accident sheds
light on the issue of child labour in Sudan,
where children are often exploited and some
recruited as soldiers.
The tough economic realities in Sudan have
led some children to work in dangerous jobs.
There are large numbers of street children in
Khartoum and other big cities.
According to the UN children's agency
(Unicef), around three million Sudanese
children are out of school.
They work in a variety of jobs such as
cleaning, vending, bricklaying and rubbish
collection - risking exploitation and abuse.
Poor pay and working conditions at the
Khartoum State Cleaning Corporation have
also been highlighted by some on social
media as employees there have been
protesting recently.
One activist, El-Sadiq Eissa, tweeted about an
encounter he had had with an ex-employee of
the company whose leg was amputated
following a work accident.
According to the activist, the man is now
begging on the streets of Khartoum after the
company refused pay for his medical
treatment. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-60388181 Lalasticlala Mynd44
