In Shymkent, comprehensive preventive work is being carried out to prevent children from accidentally falling from the windows of multi-storey buildings. This year, 3 such incidents have been recorded so far: 2 children died and 1 child was injured. Last year, there were 4 incidents during this period (3 injuries, 1 fatality). In 2024, a total of 8 incidents were recorded, including 1 child died and 7 children were injured. Experts say that children under the age of 7 cannot fully appreciate the dangers of having a window open or covered with a mosquito net. The main cause of accidents is insufficient supervision by adults, especially when entrusting a child to older children or elderly relatives. In order to raise public awareness, 4 speeches were organized on local and national television channels, and 22 radio broadcasts were broadcast. In addition, a special video clip is being prepared. Since the beginning of the year, 159 house inspections have been conducted in crowded places and among residents of multi-story buildings, covering more than 2,650 people. 22 meetings have been held and more than 1,060 leaflets have been distributed. Specific recommendations were given at these meetings to prevent children from falling out of windows.

On June 26, an extraordinary meeting of the Commission for the Prevention and Elimination of Emergency Situations was held on the issue of "Measures to Prevent Children from Falling Out of Windows." Problematic issues were considered and instructions were given to strengthen the safety of children.
