A 10-year-old girl is fighting for her life after being found unconscious in a hotel pool in Protaras yesterday. The child, a British national visiting Cyprus with her family, was discovered in the water around 3:00 PM, having slipped out of her mother’s sight.
At the time of the incident, there was no lifeguard present at the pool. Authorities are investigating whether the pool was operating with the necessary permits.
The pool is currently open for use, and police are continuing their investigation, including taking statements from witnesses.
Following the incident, the child was initially transported to Paralimni Hospital. Due to the severity of her condition, she was later transferred to Makarios Hospital. The girl is now in critical but stable condition and is being kept on a ventilator.
