A five-year-old Afghan boy evacuated from Kabul after the Taliban takeover has died in Poland after eating poisonous mushrooms, officials say.
The boy’s six-year-old brother, who also ate the mushrooms, had a liver transplant but is critically ill, a doctor said.
The boys were staying at a refugee centre near Warsaw after arriving in Poland with their family on 23 August.
They ate the mushrooms a day later and were taken to hospital.
“Unfortunately, we were unable to help both boys,” the hospital’s director, Dr Marek Migdal, said on Thursday, confirming the death of the five-year-old boy.
He had suffered irreversible brain damage and was unable to have a liver transplant, unlike his brother.
