A two-year-old toddler was killed this morning in the town of Tel Sheva in the south of the country, apparently by a car.
When the police received a report of the incident, police officers arrived at the scene and an investigation was opened by an investigator of road accidents from the Negev region.
At 09:43, a report was received at MDA's 101 hotline in the Negev region, about a toddler who was brought to the clinic in Tel Sheva in critical condition after he was apparently involved in a car accident. Determine his death.
MDA paramedic Oren Wecht said: "We arrived at the clinic and were taken to the treatment room where the toddler was lying, unconscious and the doctors on the spot performed resuscitation operations on him after he was hit by a vehicle.
We immediately continued to perform prolonged resuscitation operations, which in the end, unfortunately, we had to determine his death on the spot. "
According to data from the organization "Before" for child safety, in 2021 26 children from Bedouin society were killed in various accidents, and that relative to some of them in all Israeli children, Bedouin children are at the highest risk of dying in an accident.
Orly Silvinger, the organization's executive director, says that “For years now, together with the Authority for Socio-Economic Development in the Bedouin Society and other civil society organizations, the organization has been working in the Bedouin Society to raise awareness of safety and provide tools for safe behavior.
Unfortunately, that is not enough. "
"As long as the infrastructure in the south is dilapidated and dangerous, the situation will continue to take its toll on children's lives. We call on the state to take responsibility and work to develop infrastructure and promote a safe environment, with the aim of preventing unnecessary deaths."
