“I’m so scared, please come,” were some of the last words six-year-old Hind Rajab said in a telephone call to rescuers after her family’s car came under fire in Gaza City.Trapped in the vehicle and surrounded by her dead relatives, for three hours she pleaded with the Red Crescent to save her.But the aid agency lost contact with the ambulance dispatched to her aid on 29 January and its crew and Hind remained missing.
Now Hind’s family has said that she was found dead inside the car in the Tel al-Hawa area of Gaza City on Saturday morning.
Hind’s mother, Wissam Hamada, added: “I will question before God on Judgment Day those who heard my daughter’s cries for help and did not save her.”The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that it had located its bombed-out ambulance just metres away, and that its two paramedics, Yusuf Al-Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun, had also been killed.
Gaza City has been devastated by fighting between Israel and Hamas since the war broke out four months ago and Hind’s family had reportedly been hoping to seek shelter elsewhere.
The tragedy unfolded on 29 January, when Hind and her uncle, aunt and cousins attempted to flee approaching Israeli forces and their car came under fire.
“The occupation deliberately targeted the Red Crescent crew despite prior coordination to allow the ambulance to arrive at the site to rescue Hind,” it said in a statement.

You do realise that it is Israeli soldiers who killed this girl and the paramedics that were sent to save her, after their safe passage was granted by the same (most moral) Israelian army, right? And even though they knew that they still killed this girl and the paramedics?
And in a perfect world, this incident would be thoroughly investigated and the responsible would get effective sentences which would serve as a deterrent for other soldiers. But I guess we aren't living in a perfect world, and the responsibles would not be punished. And yes, this blood and a lot more blood of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians is on the hands of the IDF and their government.
Hamas was not the one that killed her. And they weren't using her as a shield whatsoever. Israel killed her AND targeted the ambulance they were fully aware was coming to save her, since they agreed to let it go and get her, but then killed the paramedics when they got there.
This child was not Hamas. The ambulance was not Hamas.
If anyone should understand the horrors of genocide it's the Jewish people. This is the same level of nightmare the world watched in horror in the 1940s.
Yes nearly every country has ran the Jews out of the country. There is no country in the middle East that has even a fraction of Jewish people leaving there compared to how many Palestinians live in Israel. Who is at risk of genocide?
Fight directly? Where? Gaza is the most densely packet place on earth. Even if Hamas wanted to "fight in the open" it would still be on someone's deck yard. Plus it's bombs fired from miles away.
Fuck Hamas leadership for starting the bloodbath and fuck Israel leadership for diving into it like pigs in a shitpit. Palestinians are nothing more than cost of business for both groups. I understand why Palestinians and Israelis would Join the fight, but they are both targetting the wrong people. And fuck everybody who would think I support either side. I support people not being killed.
