A large fire broke out on the top floor of a dorm of a Chareidi girls’ high school on Rechov Dovid Yellin in Jerusalem early Monday morning, injuring dozens and requiring rescue forces to extricate dozens of girls from the burning building.
Twelve firefighter and rescue teams were deployed to the scene and found a large number of girls at the Ohr Chaya high school dorm who were trapped by smoke and fire.
The forces rescued the girls from the building and treated them at the scene. Some were evacuated to Shaare Tzedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals, including three in serious condition who suffered from smoke inhalation and two in moderate condition.
Dr. Aryeh Yafeh, a volunteer physician at United Hatzalah, and paramedics Ariel Dreyi and Ze’ev Klein reported: “We are dealing with a fire in a residential building, part of which is a high school for girls. We provided initial medical assistance on the scene to a large number of victims, including 12 girls who were evacuated by United Hatzalah ambulances. Additionally, medical assistance was provided at the scene to three individuals in serious condition, two girls in moderate condition, and the rest in light condition. Large firefighting forces operated at the scene to extinguish the flames and rescue those trapped from the burning building.”

May Hashem give all the injured girls a refua shleima, a speedy and complete recovery
I’m quite sure it’s a Chabad Seminary.
Also, classic Hatzolah running to take credit.
May Hashem please send very quickly a
רפואה שלמה
to all the persons that got injured.
Maybe all of us together as a beautiful Tzibbur, we should daven and cry to Hashem and ask Hashem to guide us and advise us through our Rabbanim as to what we need to correct in order for us to be Zoche that we should merit that we should have no more fires and no more injuries or deaths through terrorists and the war should come to an end and we should be
זוכה בעזרת השם יתברך
to get back all the hostages ASAP.
Please Hashem help us.
To Veshama H.:
Why do we need to know that it’s Chabad?????
The girls are all Yidden. Satmar-Chabad-Ashkenaz-Sfard-Mizrachi-
מאי נפקא מינה
Also why are you Cheppering Hatzala??????
Did they hurt you????
Are you jealous that they are Hatzala and you are not????
Mr. Veshama:
Let me remind you that during the days of the second Bais HaMikdash, everyone was learning a lot of Torah-they went a lot to the Mikva-I am sure they were wearing big huge Tzizis Talis Koton on their shirts-Many davened with the Netz-The Chassidim all went to a Tisch- The non-Chassidim went to their Rosh HaYeshiva-The Chassidim and the non-Chassidim all were learning-They went to Minyan-But for some reason came the Churban which was worse than the Holocaust…
While we were learning and davening and going to our Rebbe-at the exact same moment we were also killing each other through sharp words.
Refuah Shlaima to all the injured.
Be’ezras Hashem we shouldn’t hear of any fires on Chanukah and always.
אמן to Avrohom!
Isn’t it heartless for people to stand around and stare?! If they can’t help they should not be there! Having a bunch of charedim gawking around on the sidewalk is also a big chillul Hashem !!
