A nursing student who fell from the window of her fourth-floor flat while putting up Christmas decorations bled to death after a hospital allegedly refused to treat her.
Dina Khalil, 22, tragically plunged 60ft to the ground from her apartment window in Amman, Jordan.
After the fall, the young woman was rushed to a nearby hospital but the staff refused to admit her because she had no medical insurance, her father claimed.
Dina's friends managed to raise enough money to give her some basic treatment, but by that time the student, from Jadeidi-Makr in Israel, had lost too much blood.
She was then flown home to Rambam Hospital in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa, but was pronounced dead on December 29.
