Local media in Turkey have revealed emotional details surrounding the tragic incident of a Saudi child who fell into a river in the city of Trabzon — a case that has sparked widespread sorrow and concern across social media platforms.
Surveillance footage captured the child running near the river alongside his family. Suddenly, he veered towards the riverbank.
Despite his father’s quick attempt to stop him, the child’s foot slipped, and he plunged into the fast-flowing water, disappearing from sight in a matter of seconds.
Turkish authorities immediately launched an extensive search operation, deploying rescue teams, divers, drones, and helicopters in hopes of locating the child.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Embassy in Ankara and Consulate in Istanbul are closely monitoring the situation and providing full support to the family.
This heartbreaking incident has once again highlighted the need for improved safety measures in public tourist areas,
especially those near water bodies, to prevent such tragedies in the future.
