The 8-year-old girl who was trapped in a jacuzzi pump at a vacation rental in northern Israel on Thursday has been diagnosed with extensive subcutaneous hemorrhage, her mother told N12. The father said the adults had to use physical force to free her, and doctors expressed concern that the vacuum may have caused damage to bones, muscles, or lungs. The girl was rushed to the emergency room after the incident, which occurred at a zimmer.
The Zioneer first reported the incident at 12:26 Jerusalem time based on initial reports of the girl being trapped and hospitalized. Within the same hour, the mother's account emerged, describing the struggle to free her daughter and the girl's difficulty breathing and back pain. The mother issued a public warning about the dangers of jacuzzi systems, urging parents to be vigilant. All details surfaced within a short span, with the mother's interview providing the most comprehensive account.
This incident adds to a pattern of household accidents involving children that The Zioneer has reported, including a teenager hospitalized with second-degree burns after microwaving a squishy toy (Jul 20) and an infant in serious condition after a private pool drowning in Herzliya (Jul 11). These cases highlight the need for constant supervision around potential hazards.
The girl's current condition at the hospital has not been updated beyond the initial diagnosis. Further details on the nature of the jacuzzi system and any safety measures at the rental are still pending.
