The Committee for Emergency Situations and Civil Defense urges parents and guardians to be especially attentive to their children and not to leave them unattended, especially near rivers, canals, and other bodies of water. According to the agency, the number of such tragic incidents has increased recently, and most are due to adult inattention.
