RAMALLAH, Sunday, June 14, 2020 (WAFA) – Two brothers died today when they suffocated from the lack of oxygen while were working in a water well in the village of Kafr ad-Dik, near the town of Salfit in the occupied West Bank.
Governor of Salfit, Abdullah Kmail, announced that Ammar al-Dik, 51, and Diaa al-Dik, 30, died on Sunday early morning after they ran out of oxygen when they were working about 10 meters deep inside the well.
