An unknown Tunisian farmer has caused confusion near and far after a bizarre video circulated about him and a well he dug to provide drinking water for agriculture amid a water crisis Tunisia is facing due to drought. This caused controversy among Tunisians on social media, suggesting the existence of a gas field. Others have ruled it out entirely.
Videos widely shared on Facebook showed very heavy water flowing from a well source, amid optimism from farmers and residents in the region, before the flames suddenly increased with the water, amid amazement from those who received the gift. While the massive uproar that accompanied the accident prompted the Tunisian authorities to send teams to the scene to investigate. In order to later confirm that there was no previously recorded, to announce the closure of the well in order to conduct the necessary analyzes and check the presence or absence of gas pockets, which surprised the Tunisians even more.
