Doctors at Yerushalayim’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital on Sunday morning saved the life of a 12-year-old girl from Palestinian Authority-controlled Ramallah.

The girl was brought into the emergency room in critical condition during the early morning hours after being bitten by a Palestinian viper snake. During the mid-morning hours, she was reported in stable condition.

In a related matter, a man who was bitten by a Palestinian viper in the north over the weekend died despite intensive resuscitation efforts by paramedics on the scene and a medical team in a Nahariya hospital.
