A four-year-old Syrian girl plunged to her death from an eighth floor apartment in Sharjah on Wednesday night. The girl fell from the balcony of an apartment in the Al Tawawon area.
The girl was taken to Al Qasimi Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
This is the second incident of a child falling from a high-rise in Sharjah this year. A 3-year-old Pakistani girl fell from her family’s fourth floor Sharjah apartment after managing to unlock the window earlier this year. She received injuries to her spine but survived.
Last year, seven children fell to their deaths, according to figures released by Sharjah Police.

How to come clean about financial infidelity
- Be honest and transparent: It is always better to own up than be found out. Tell your partner everything they want to know. Show remorse. Inform them of the extent of the situation so they know what they are dealing with.
- Work on yourself: Be honest with yourself and your partner and figure out why you did it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for professional help.
- Give it time: Like any breach of trust, it requires time to rebuild. So be consistent, communicate often and be patient with your partner and yourself.
- Discuss your financial situation regularly: Ensure your spouse is involved in financial matters and decisions. Your ability to consistently follow through with what you say you are going to do when it comes to money can make all the difference in your partner’s willingness to trust you again.
- Work on a plan to resolve the problem together: If there is a lot of debt, for example, create a budget and financial plan together and ensure your partner is fully informed, involved and supported.
