The community of Bir Jdid has been deeply shaken by the event. Neighbors described the victim as a kind and humble woman, loved by those around her. Her sudden and shocking death has left many families feeling uneasy in their own homes.
“I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news,” said a neighbor. “We all use fridges and appliances every day. To think that such a common object could kill someone is terrifying.”
The tragedy has sparked widespread discussion about household safety. Many locals are now reconsidering their own electrical setups, calling electricians to inspect their wiring and appliances.
A Broader Issue
This incident is not an isolated case. Across the world, thousands of people die each year from accidental electrocution. According to the World Health Organization, unsafe electrical systems are among the top causes of household-related fatalities.
In many developing countries, the problem is worsened by poor infrastructure, lack of awareness, and limited access to professional electricians. Simple precautions—such as avoiding barefoot contact with appliances, unplugging faulty devices, and conducting regular safety inspections—can prevent countless tragedies.
