A tragic accident occurred in Al-Ayyat, south of Giza Governorate, where a 13-year-old child died from an electric shock while inside an oven repair workshop.
The Giza Security Directorate received a report and dispatched a team to investigate the scene. Initial investigations revealed that the child was attempting to connect a wire to one of the workshop’s equipment when he was struck by a strong electric shock, causing immediate death.
Authorities indicated that the accident resulted from direct handling of electrical equipment without proper supervision or safety measures, highlighting the risks children face in hazardous work environments.
The public prosecution has taken over the case, ordering an autopsy to confirm the cause of death, gathering evidence, and questioning workshop staff to determine responsibility and take legal action.
Security authorities emphasized the importance of following safety procedures in electrical workshops and exercising extreme caution when children or untrained individuals are present.
