A two-year-old girl who was rushed to Ruth Children�s Hospital at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa last week after being left unattended in a vehicle was niftar overnight in the pediatric intensive care unit, hospital officials confirmed Friday morning.

The toddler, whose identity has not been released, was admitted in critical condition on July 3 following an extended period inside a parked car in Hadera. United Hatzalah first responders provided on-scene emergency treatment, including CPR, before transporting her to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center. She was later transferred to Rambam for specialized pediatric intensive care.

�Despite all life-saving efforts, the child�s condition remained grave,� a Rambam spokesperson said. �We deeply regret to announce that she succumbed to her injuries overnight.�

Shmuel Mori, a United Hatzalah medic who treated the girl at the scene last week, recalled: �We were told she had been in the car for a prolonged time. We performed advanced life-support measures on site before she was taken to the hospital in critical condition,� he said.

United Hatzalah issued a renewed safety warning to parents and caregivers:

�Never leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a moment,� the organization said. �On hot summer days, always check the back seat before locking your car to ensure no child has been inadvertently left inside.�
