Written by: Adel Khelifi on September 21, 2026

A three-year-old child died last night after falling into a water basin located in the Saïda delegation, in the governorate of Sidi Bouzid, according to a reliable local source.

According to the same source, the basin was nevertheless protected. The child would have fallen inside while he was momentarily out of his family’s supervision. He unfortunately did not survive the accident.

This tragedy, which occurred suddenly, has left the child’s family in deep sadness and stirred emotion among those around them.

This accident also serves as a reminder of the risks to which young children can be exposed near basins, cisterns and other bodies of water. Even when they are secured, these spaces require constant vigilance and appropriate protective measures to prevent accidental falls.

The precise circumstances of the accident could be further clarified by the competent authorities.
