A six-year-old Indian girl is fighting for her life after she fell from the third floor of her building in Sharjah, the media reported on Monday.

The incident took place on Saturday evening, when the girl, identified as Safa S A, was playing in her house and ventured into the balcony from where she fell. Her parents, who were inside the house, were unaware of her movements, reports the Khaleej Times.
