Three-Year-Old Girl Chokes on Grape in Jerusalem Home, Condition Critical
A three-year-old girl choked on a grape at her home in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem and is currently in critical condition. The incident was reported to Magen David Adom (MDA) at 14:20, prompting paramedics and medics to rush to the scene and perform resuscitation efforts. United Hatzalah volunteers also provided initial medical assistance, with paramedic Moshe Weiner, Ariel Ben David, and Moishy Adler recounting how they helped remove the grape from the girl's airway and performed life-saving procedures.
Following the emergency treatment, the child was transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for further care. United Hatzalah emphasized the importance of preventing choking incidents by cutting grapes into small pieces and teaching toddlers to chew food thoroughly before swallowing. The family has requested public prayers for the full recovery of Yael Bat Chana, invoking a traditional blessing for healing among all the sick in Israel.
