A nine-month-old infant was critically injured Tuesday afternoon after apparently falling from a slide while playing on President Street in Ashkelon. The child's parents reported that he showed no signs of distress immediately after the fall. However, he lost consciousness while on the way home in the car. Rescue teams who were called to the scene provided initial medical treatment and evacuated him to Barzilai Hospital in the city, performing resuscitation efforts en route.
Magen David Adom (MDA) received a report at 4:04 PM about an infant who had fallen from a height. Paramedics arrived at the scene and began advanced resuscitation, including chest compressions and artificial respiration, after finding the infant unconscious, without breathing, and without a pulse.
Senior MDA medic Daniel Yarden described the scene, stating, "When we arrived, we were led to the infant who apparently fell from a slide during play. He was unconscious, without breathing, and without a pulse. We immediately began advanced resuscitation efforts, including chest compressions and artificial respiration, and evacuated him in an MDA intensive care unit to the hospital while continuing resuscitation."
Shimon Yaakovovitz, a medic with Hatzalah United, said, "We were informed by the family that he fell from a height during gymboree play. We performed resuscitation efforts on him, and he was evacuated to the hospital for further treatment while undergoing resuscitation, in critical condition."
