According to the police press office, the incident occurred last Sunday around 3:00 PM. The girl, who was on holiday in Cyprus with her mother and siblings, was found unconscious in the hotel pool in Protaras. She was immediately taken to Makarios Hospital, where she remains in critical but stable condition.
