Minor Boy Drowns after falling into a water tank in UAE

In a tragic incident, a six-year-old boy drowned after falling into a water tank at his family’s home in Al Ain in United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The boy, identified as Issa Al Zahir, a first-grade student at Mohammed bin Khalid School in Al Ain, was playing with his younger sister in the courtyard when he accidentally fell into the tank, part of which was underground and



partially uncovered, according to a  media report 

His father, an imam and Quran teacher, told Media that he had been with the children shortly before leaving for work. 

“I was with my children, Issa and Maryam, as they played in front of the house. Before heading to work, I brought them into the courtyard, closed the door and left,” he said.
