After searching for the children, three out of the four siblings were found and taken to the hospital, where they later died.

Out of pure shock from the incident, it was only after the three boys were transferred to the hospital, did the parents realized that the older sister was still missing, said the relative.

Divers searched for her within the dam and found her body in the water soon after.

The relative indicated that the father of the deceased children is only aware of the death of one child until this moment.

He stressed that the Karameh Dam does not have any kind of protection or fencing around it,  noting there is no "benefit from [the dam] except to take lives."
