Amman, June 21 (Petra) – A worker trapped in the collapse of a borehole in Aqaba Governorate was found dead after a 13-day rescue operation, the Public Security Directorate (PSD) said Saturday.
The rescue has been ongoing since June 9 with the participation of teams of the Civil Defense, the International Search and Rescue and the Aqaba Support Group in cooperation with other local authorities, in a race against time to find the man who was trapped in the narrow borehole at a depth of 70 meters in the Fifth District of Aqaba Governorate, it said.
