A two-year-old girl is in a life-threatening condition after falling from a second-floor window at a Red Cross reception centre in East Flanders.

The incident happened at around 18:00 on Thursday at the reception centre in Kasteelstraat, Sint-Niklaas.

East Flanders Public Prosecutor's Office spokesperson Lisa De Wilde said the most likely scenario is that this was a tragic accident.

The child was taken to hospital immediately.

"The exact circumstances are still unclear, but the most likely explanation is that this was a tragic accident. A thorough investigation will provide more clarity," De Wilde said.
