A 77-year-old woman is seriously injured after falling three stories down an elevator shaft in Tel Aviv, medics say.

Magen David Adom medics say they found the woman at the bottom of the shaft suffering from multiple injuries. After being treated at the site she was taken to the city’s Ichilov hospital in serious condition.

Medics say she was likely saved by packages and cardboard boxes at the bottom of the shaft.

The building is undergoing a renovation.
