The victim, Yasser, died before arriving at the hospital.

Prosecutors summoned the principal of the school and the supervisor of the floor where the incident occurred and charged them with negligence.
Students in the classroom asserted that their parents were the reason for pushing the children to sit in the first seat, hours before the start of the school year, as they reprimanded their children if they failed to sit in the first rows.
The prosecutors ordered the burial of the child, and asked the police to complete investigations into the incident and take the required legal measures.
