Thirteen-year-old student injured after fall from school balcony in Haidari

On Monday, April 20, 2026, a 13-year-old student from the 7th Gymnasium of Haidari fell from a school balcony. Reports suggest the student felt dizzy, slipped on the railing, and fell into the courtyard. The girl was transported to Agia Sofia Children's Hospital, where she is currently intubated. Her injuries include trauma to the thorax, craniocerebral injuries, and a pelvic fracture. Medical staff began surgery on her thorax at 14:30, with further procedures planned once her condition stabilizes. Following the incident, students were dismissed early from the school. The Ministry of Education, led by Sofia Zacharaki, has initiated a full investigation into the circumstances of the fall. Psychologists are expected to be present at the school starting tomorrow to provide support to affected students.
