A three-year-old Israeli is in critical condition after being stung by a jellyfish during a family trip to the Philippines on Sunday, Ynet reported.
The family was located near an island in Palawan Province.
They are urgently seeking to reach Manila - the country's capital - to provide the toddler with appropriate medical treatment.
The "Haverim Mehaltzim" (Rescuing Friends) organization and the "Magen" (Shield) company are working to assist the family in reaching Manila.
The Foreign Ministry reported that the event was "known and taken care of."
Philippines jellyfish more deadly than those seen on Israeli beaches
Jellyfish are a common sight on Israeli beaches during the summer, and most of their stings are not life-threatening. In the Philippines, however, more deadly jellyfish can be found.
The University of the Philippines Diliman reports several dangerous species, including the box jellyfish, whose sting can inflict severe pain, skin injury, cardiac arrest, and death.
