Amman, Sept. 6 (Petra) — A 12-year-old boy drowned Sunday in the
King Abdullah Canal (KAC) in Irbid governorate, Public Security
Directorate (PSD) spokesperson said.
In a statement, the spokesperson noted that Civil Defense diving
teams in west Irbid responded to a report of the drowning incident
and recovered the boy from the canal.
The minor was taken to Abi Obaidah Government Hospital, where he was
later pronounced dead.
The PSD added that authorities have opened an investigation into the
incident.
Renewing calls on parents to closely supervise their children, the
PSD said this guidance aims to deter them from agricultural pools,
water canals and other non-swimming spaces, warning against entering
such areas under any circumstances due to their life-threatening
risks.
