Three regions cause most electrocutions
The eastern regions, Madinah, and Asir accounted for approximately 61% of electrical shock incidents recorded in Saudi Arabia in 2025, totaling 146 reports out of 240. Data shows that the Eastern Province had the highest number of reports with 60 cases (25%), followed by Madinah with 51 cases (21.3%), and then Asir with 35 cases (14.6%). The causes of electrical shock accidents vary and include contact with exposed wires, damaged electrical connections, the presence of water near electrical sources, and unsafe practices—particularly in places where water and electricity are combined, such as homes and factories. First aid procedures focus on securing the site, assessing the victim's health condition, and providing treatment according to established protocols, with critical cases being transported to hospitals. The effects of electric shock range from pain and burns to cardiac disturbances and loss of consciousness, and in severe cases, can be fatal.
