The chareidi girl who was run over by a vehicle in Rehovot last Shabbos, 12-year-old Naomi Chaya Peiz ( פעיז) was niftar in the hospital.

Paramedics and EMTs of United Hatzalah in Rehovot delivered the initial care at the scene and she was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Yoni Rothenberg, head of the Ichud Hatzalah in Rehovot, described the incident as “during the Shabbos meal, the UH dispatcher reported a serious accident, and when I arrived at the scene I encountered a 12-year-old girl who suffered extensive multisystem trauma and she was unconscious as a result of being struck by a private vehicle.”

The family of the nifteres moved to Eretz Yisrael from Yemen some 25 years ago. יהי זכרה ברוך
