A toddler, about two years old, was evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem in moderate condition after drowning in a private pool in Moshav Adderet on Wednesday evening, according to Israeli medical sources.
The toddler was rescued from the water and received initial treatment at the scene by emergency medical teams before being evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in moderate condition. The incident occurred in the evening hours in Moshav Adderet, a community in the Jerusalem District.
This is the latest in a string of child pool drownings reported this summer in Israel. The Zioneer has previously reported on several similar incidents, including a 5-year-old boy in critical condition after drowning in a public pool in Omer on Tuesday, a 7-year-old boy in moderate condition after a pool drowning in Holon on Monday, and an 11-year-old boy in moderate condition after a pool drowning in Ofakim last Friday. While pool drownings are a recurring summer hazard, each incident is a separate event with its own circumstances.
