Girl, 4, dies after being forgotten in car in northern Negev amid heatwave

A 4-year-old girl has died after being forgotten in a closed vehicle for an extended period of time amid a scorching heatwave, the Magen David Adom (MDA) ambulance service says, adding that it is a “shocking case.”

The incident happened near the Bedouin community of Ararat an-Naqab in the northern Negev.

According to MDA, the girl was brought, unconscious and without vital signs, to a clinic in the nearby Arara, suffering from heatstroke and burns on her body. Medics tried to resuscitate her but were forced to pronounce her dead.
