Rescuers in Vietnam battle to save boy trapped in construction site

Ly Hao Nam, 10, fell down a narrow shaft on New Year's Eve but there was no response from him on Monday

Rescuers in Vietnam were desperately trying to free a 10-year-old boy on Monday, two days after he fell into the narrow open shaft of a concrete pile at a construction site on New Year's Eve.

Ly Hao Nam was heard crying for help shortly after he fell into the pile on Saturday morning, but rescuers received no response from him on Monday as they lowered a camera down to try to locate his position in the 35-metre long support pillar.
