A baby has died after being forgotten in a car for five
hours – the second such incident in as many days and the third in only two
weeks.
Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service was summoned Monday
afternoon to the Jewish community of Dolev after an 18-month-old girl was found
left in a vehicle in the summer heat by a passerby at about 1:15 p.m.
The community is located in the hills of the Binyamin
region, near Jerusalem. The toddler was in critical condition, according to the
intensive care paramedic team that worked to try to resuscitate her.
She was rushed to the Chaim Sheba Medical Center at the Tel
Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv.
Sadly, her condition was fatal and she passed away soon
afterwards.
The incident comes less than a day after a five-month-old
infant died after she was forgotten in a vehicle in the village of Shilo, also
in the Binyamin Region.
The baby died after having been left in the vehicle for
nearly seven hours and was found with severe burns.
A similar incident occurred earlier this month when a nine-month-old
baby was found unconscious after having been left for several hours in a
vehicle in Ramat Gan.
Although MDA paramedics performed CPR on the baby as they
rushed her to Sheba Medical Center, she was pronounced dead on arrival.
