A two-year-old boy is fighting for his life in Crete after falling from the first floor of an unfinished building in Agios Nikolaos, Lasithi. He suffered severe head injuries and remains intubated in the pediatric intensive care unit at the University Hospital of Heraklion.

The accident happened shortly after 9 a.m. on Wednesday under circumstances that remain under investigation. The child was at the site with his parents when he fell from the building.

An EKAB ambulance first took him to Agios Nikolaos Hospital, where doctors intubated him. Because of the seriousness of his injuries, he was then transferred to the University General Hospital of Heraklion, known as PAGNI, and admitted to its pediatric intensive care unit.

PAGNI deputy administrator Stelios Kteniadakis said the child remains intubated and under continuous medical supervision. The family reportedly planned to settle permanently in the area. The father is an Australian-born member of the Greek diaspora, while the mother holds U.S. citizenship.
