Amman, Jan 17 (Petra) – Civil Defense divers on Saturday responded to a drowning incident in an agricultural pond in Al-Jizah, south of Amman, where a 53-year-old father and his two children, 7 and 15, died, the media spokesperson of the Public Security Directorate (PSD) said.
The bodies were recovered and evacuated to a hospital, he said.

The spokesman reiterated the need for the safe use of heating devices, and regularly ventilating homes.
