3-year-old dies after Petah Tikva apartment fire

A small child badly injured in an apartment fire in Petah Tikva has died.

The 3-year-old was taken to Beilinson Medical Center in the city in critical condition but medics were unable to save her.

Three others — a woman and two children — were also taken to the hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

It was unknown how the fire started.

The child’s death comes after an 80-year-old woman died in a fire in Beersheba earlier this morning. An octogenarian couple died Sunday in a fire at their home in the northern town of Yarka on Sunday.
