An 18-year-old teen died from his wounds after a wall collapsed on him on Almaruha street in eastern Jerusalem.
MDA medics and paramedics administered emergency medical treatment and evacuated him to Hadassah-University Medical Center on Jerusalem’s Mount Scopus while trying to resuscitate him.
"We arrived at the scene and saw the teen lying under the ruins, unconscious and with a severe head injury," emergency MDA medics Shmuel Arieli and Itai Rabi said. "He had no pulse and was not breathing, and we immediately began advanced resuscitation attempts that included massages and CPR. We put him into an intensive care ambulance and quickly evacuated him to the hospital while trying to resuscitate him."
He was declared dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
The police have opened investigations into the circumstances of the accident. The wall that collapsed apparently belonged to a building undergoing reconstruction.
