37 schoolchildren safe after their bus is swept off a Negev road in flash flood

Beersheba’s Soroka Hospital offers details about the story of several dozen schoolchildren caught in flooding and evacuated from a Negev riverbed, many of them suffering hypothermia.

According to the hospital, the 37 youths and six adults were on a bus that was caught in floodwaters and carried off the road.

“All the evacuees are only lightly hurt. Some are suffering from shock, some from mild injuries to their arms and legs,” a senior hospital official says.
