A five -year- old boy was found dead on Thursday after he fell into an open manhole of sewer in Tripoli's Qasi Ben Ghashir neighbourhood.

Hussein Al-Bosaifi was playing with his friends when he fell into the sewer hole at 05.00 pm. Rescuers  took 04:45 hours before they finally found his body.

Locals are blaming the municipal council and the General Company for Public Services over the boy's death because of their carelessness.

The sewer hole is located in the city center and it was opened and covered with grass.
