Four-Year-Old Girl Chokes on Grape in Jerusalem, Condition Critical

A four-year-old girl choked on a grape while eating at her home on Sulam Yaakov Street in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem. Rescue teams from Hatzalah and Magen David Adom (MDA) were called to the scene after the child lost consciousness and stopped breathing. Paramedic David Turgeman and medic Kobi Marder from Hatzalah reported that upon arrival, the girl was found unconscious, without pulse or breathing. Immediate advanced resuscitation efforts were initiated, including chest compressions, ventilation, and administration of life-saving medications. After removing the grape from her airway using specialized equipment, her heartbeat was restored. She was then transported in serious but stable condition by MDA's intensive care ambulance to Shaare Zedek Medical Center's trauma unit for further treatment. The family has requested public prayers for Yael Bat Chana's full recovery.
