In a heartwarming incident at Kızıltepe Anafartalar Secondary School in Mardin, Turkey, a quick-thinking 5th grade student named Ömer Okyar saved the life of his class teacher with the help of the school’s deputy director, Hamdullah Atay.
It all started when Deputy Director Atay noticed that his colleague was choking and immediately sprang into action, applying the Heimlich Maneuver to dislodge the obstruction in the teacher’s airway. Thanks to Atay’s first aid knowledge and quick response, the teacher was able to breathe again and was saved from a potentially life-threatening situation.
The entire incident was captured on the school’s security camera, showcasing the importance of knowing basic first aid techniques in emergency situations. The footage serves as a reminder of how a simple act of kindness and quick thinking can make a world of difference.
