An unusual incident involving exposure to hazardous materials occurred at an educational institution in Jerusalem on Thursday. Thirteen children, approximately 12 years old, and one staff member were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem and Hadassah Har HaTzofim hospitals. All individuals were conscious and in mild condition.
Hadassah Har HaTzofim is currently treating nine children, around 12 years old, and one female staff member, all of whom are in mild condition and conscious. At Hadassah Ein Kerem, four children are being treated, also in mild condition and conscious.
One individual, identified only as Yahav, expressed strong criticism regarding the incident, stating, "When schools are closed due to carcinogenic materials in the air, it's no longer a warning light. It's a real alarm. This negligence must stop." He added that this situation is unacceptable and that in a proper country, children should not have to stay home due to air pollution from petrochemical plants, nor should residents need to be instructed to stay indoors and close windows to protect their health.
