The news was announced to its readers by the Rodiaik newspaper, published on the island of Rhodes. Finally, the parliamentarians stated that the 4-year-old girl who lives on the island and who was seriously injured as a result of a fall was urgently transferred by her family on a tourist boat, first to the Kaş district and then to the Antalya hospital.
