SAUDI ARABIA, March 25: In a remarkable tale of survival, a two-year-old girl named Retal defied the odds after plummeting from the fourth floor of a building in Afif City, located in the Riyadh region of central Saudi Arabia.

Retal's father, Mouti’ Al Murshid, expressed astonishment at his daughter's miraculous survival, admitting that he never imagined she would survive such a terrifying ordeal.

The harrowing incident unfolded when Al Murshid's wife and two children were in a room on the fourth floor, accompanied by other women residing in the same building. Tragically, Retal's sister accidentally opened a window in the hall, leading to the toddler's fall.

At the time of the accident, Al Murshid was away on a work assignment in Riyadh. He received the distressing news from the building's security guard, prompting him to rush back to Afif. Despite several medical tests, Al Murshid remains concerned about Retal's condition and plans to seek further medical evaluation.

Grateful for his daughter's survival, Al Murshid attributed the miraculous turn of events to the grace of God. He recounted how the security guard, initially fearing the worst upon discovering Retal on the ground, was stunned to find signs of life in her. Swift action was taken to summon an ambulance for urgent medical assistance, ensuring Retal received the care she urgently needed.
