In a heartbreaking update to a story that captured public attention, Turkish authorities have confirmed the discovery of the body of five-year-old Saudi child Faisal Al-Ghamdi,
who went missing in the Uzungöl area of Trabzon after days of extensive search efforts.
According to new details, Faisal’s body was found trapped behind a large rock in the river after rescue teams carried out a thorough sweep of the area using drones and divers, in cooperation with local authorities.
Reports indicate that the strong river current carried the child to a hidden spot not easily visible.
The child had disappeared suddenly while his family was walking near the river, prompting an emergency response from security forces and volunteer teams.
Faisal’s father actively participated in the search efforts, a deeply moving sight that drew widespread sympathy on social media.
The Saudi Embassy in Turkey has been closely following the case since the beginning and has been coordinating with Turkish authorities to ensure a swift return of the body to the grieving family.
May young Faisal rest in peace, and may his family find strength and comfort during this painful time, as many pray that such tragedies never happen again.
