Last Friday evening in Dibba Al-Fujairah ended in tragedy for an Emirati family. During a weekly gathering at a private farm, a two-year-old boy drowned in a swimming pool, turning what was meant to be a joyful weekend into heartbreak. The family had always been cautious about pool safety, but this time, an irreversible accident occurred. "The pool isn't deep, and the latch is childproof — but those few seconds were enough," the boy's uncle said. The lights were off, and the child must have slipped inside unnoticed. The nanny didn't see him, and the accident happened in an instant. Family members immediately rushed the boy to Dibba Al-Fujairah Hospital, but doctors could not save him. "The family received the news with patience and faith," his uncle added. "But one moment of distraction can change everything." He remembered the child: "We lost a sweet, lively soul. He was always laughing, running around, and filling our gatherings with joy. His absence has left a deep void in our hearts. The pain is immense, but faith helps us endure." "We pray that he becomes a bird in paradise and an intercessor for his parents."
