A two-year-old girl who was rushed to Ruth Children’s Hospital at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa last week after being left unattended in a vehicle was niftar overnight in the pediatric intensive care unit, hospital officials confirmed Friday morning. The toddler, whose identity has not been released, was admitted in critical condition on July 3 following an extended period inside a parked car in Hadera. United Hatzalah first responders provided on-scene emergency treatment, including CPR, before transporting her to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center. She was later transferred to Rambam for specialized pediatric intensive care. “Despite all life-saving efforts, the child’s condition remained grave,” a Rambam spokesperson said. “We deeply regret to announce that she succumbed to her injuries overnight.” Shmuel Mori, a United Hatzalah medic who treated the girl at the scene last week, recalled: “We were told she had been in the car for a prolonged time. We performed advanced life-support measures on site before she was taken to the hospital in critical condition,” he said. United Hatzalah issued a renewed safety warning to parents and caregivers: “Never leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a moment,” the organization said. “On hot summer days, always check the back seat before locking your car to ensure no child has been inadvertently left inside.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
