A 6-year-old girl who was stranded in a car that was believed to have been attacked by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip late last month, and whose safety was unknown after calling for help, has been confirmed dead. The Palestinian Red Crescent has strongly condemned the Israeli military, saying that an emergency worker who went to rescue the girl was also killed in the attack.
Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old girl, is believed to have been attacked by Israeli forces on the 29th of last month while traveling in a car with her relatives in Gaza City.
In an audio recording of the phone call released by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, Hind, who appears to have survived alone in the car, can be heard desperately pleading, "I'm so scared. Someone come and take me out." .
The call lasted about three hours, but after that, contact was lost and it was no longer possible to know if the person was safe.
Emergency personnel who went to the scene to rescue Hindo were also unable to contact her.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced on social media on the 10th that Hind and two emergency workers were confirmed dead.
In the video posted, a car that appears to be an ambulance is charred, and nearby, a black passenger car that Hind was believed to have been riding in was completely destroyed, with marks that looked like it had been hit by a bullet.
The Palestinian Red Crescent has strongly accused Israeli forces of deliberately attacking an ambulance that was on its way to help.
In response to this situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) posted a message on social media saying, ``Healthcare workers are protected under international humanitarian law. "No," he says.
