6-Year-Old Hind Rajab Pleaded for Her Life for 3 Hours

In February, Israel targeted a vehicle in Gaza. Hind Rajab, 6 years old, was in the vehicle with her relatives and survived the initial attack but was trapped in the vehicle due to an Israeli siege.

Hind Rajab pleaded for three hours with the Palestinian Red Crescent on the phone, saying, "They are all dead, come get me, I don't want to stay here alone. I'm very scared, please send someone to get me." However, due to ongoing Israeli attacks, she could not be rescued.

Twelve days later, after Israeli forces withdrew from the area, the vehicle was found with the lifeless bodies of Hind Rajab, her uncle, his wife, and their three children.

The news of Hind Rajab's passing sparked a worldwide reaction, garnering considerable notice and disapproval.
