In Ha Tay, two brothers, 5 and 6 years old, died when they fell into a flooded foundation dug to build a house.
Due to heavy rain in Ha Tay, the excavated foundation for the house was flooded. While 5-year-old İsmail Sert and 6-year-old Ömer Sert were playing with a ball in front of their house, the ball fell onto the water-filled floor. The two brothers wanted to retrieve the ball and it fell into the water-filled foundation.
When people reported seeing the two brothers fall, gendarmerie, ambulance and fire brigade teams were dispatched to the scene. Their father rescued the fallen brothers and handed them over to the medical team. After the first intervention of the medical team, the two brothers were taken to Kırıkhan State Hospital. Despite the hospital's intervention, brothers İsmail and Ömer still died. Gendarmerie teams have opened an investigation into the incident.
“WE ARE WARNING CHILDREN NOT TO GO TO THE PLATFORM EVERY DAY”
Stating that they warned the children not to go to the area where the fund was placed every day, grandmother Fatma Sert said: “We didn't see what happened. The children were playing here with their father in the evening. The child was holding a box in his hand. His mother said 'throw that box away and come'. Less than 5 minutes after he left, we asked around and the neighbors. They came to the place where the fund was located. The two of them went together. The fund was there for a while.” years and they don't do anything. They both do nothing. Their children come to the fund every day.” “We will warn them not to go. May God let them experience what I experienced,” he said.
