A three-year-old girl was seriously injured in Sharjah when a massive steel door collapsed and fell on her head, causing a fracture and hemorrhage in her skull, the semi official daily Alittihad reported on Tuesday.

Alanoud Abdul Rahman was playing with four other little girls at her cousin’s house in Rahmaniya area in the city when the door collapsed on them.

The other four suffered from light injuries while Alanoud was rushed to hospital with broken skull and bleeding, the paper said.

“She is now lying at the intensive care unit after undergoing a surgery……doctors say she is still in critical condition after the door fell on her head,” the paper quoted her father, Abdul Rahman, as saying.

Deputy director of Al Qassimi hospital, Dr Saqr Al Mualla said the girl’s skull was crushed by the strong impact of the door collapse on July 18.

“She is still in critical condition but she is making progress every day…the injury was very serious given her little age and the fact that the door fell right on her head,” he said, adding that she would be subject to physiotherapy after recovery.
