In a statement issued on behalf of Ma'ale Carmel, where the late Little Yael Melnik was also hospitalized, it was stated that "the hospital management, staff and the department are very hurt by the shaky incident and are participating in the family's pain."
The hospital director also said that in addition to the police investigation, he will work with the Ministry of Health tomorrow to ensure that the incident is thoroughly and professionally investigated by an external party, with knowledge and experience, in order to reach full conclusions and lessons.
