The one and a half year old toddler from Zichron Yaakov who was forgotten in a car yesterday died this morning (Friday) at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.
The toddler was transferred to the hospital while undergoing CPR, but unfortunately the doctors had no choice but to declare her dead.
According to estimates, the toddler was in the car for about four hours.
MDA emergency medical technician Yosef Yehezkel Friedman, who arrived at the scene, said: "The toddler was unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing, and she was very hot to the touch. People who were there told us that she had been in a closed vehicle for a long time. We began life-saving measures that included cooling and advanced CPR, and after her heart started beating again, she was transferred to an MDA intensive care unit and we urgently evacuated her to the trauma room at the hospital.".
According to data from the organization Prem for Child Safety, in 2025, five children lost their lives as a result of being forgotten or trapped in a vehicle - including the current case.
In the last five years - 2020-2024, 16 children lost their lives as a result of being left behind in a vehicle, 45 children were injured and evacuated for medical treatment due to being left behind in a vehicle.
The 8-month-old baby died this morning at the Assuta Medical Center in Ashdod - she had suffocated in her home two days ago from a piece of toy that she swallowed and blocked her windpipe.
Despite the efforts of rescue teams and medical teams to save her life, to the family's heart's content, she passed away.
The teams that arrived at the family's home found the baby unconscious. The medical teams removed a small piece of toy from her throat, which had caused a complete blockage of her trachea.
The baby was evacuated while undergoing CPR and in critical condition to Assuta in Ashdod.
MDA Rescue South driver Eliezer Shtisel, who arrived at the scene along with drivers Hagai Cohen, Moshe Dweik and David Elmaleh, said: "When I arrived at the scene, I noticed a 7-month-old baby girl unconscious. Together with the other drivers, we began CPR, and during the CPR I noticed that her trachea was blocked. After a brief examination, I noticed a foreign object stuck in her trachea and pulled it out while we continued CPR.".
This morning, as mentioned, despite the efforts of the medical teams, the heart attack was declared over.
