    Their family was in the car surrounded by IDF tanks and soldiers. Her 15 year old sister was on the line with Palestinian Red Cross when the IDF sprayed them down with bullets.

    For anyone that wants some NSFL: there’s the audio recording of them killed by the IDF here

    Everyone in the car except 6 year old Hind got killed by the IDF. She remained alive trapped in the car, with the dead bodies of her family members for multiple hours. Then Palestinian Red Cross lost contact.

    Palestinian Red Cross also sent an ambulance to the car’s location to rescue Hind but, they lost contact with their ambulance after it came close to the car.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Six-year-old Hind Rajab was trapped under fire in Gaza City and begging for help, hiding inside her uncle’s car, surrounded by the bodies of her relatives.

    That morning, the Israeli army had told people to evacuate areas in the west of the city and move south along the coast road.

    It was now around 14:30 (12:30 GMT): operators at the Red Crescent call-centre in Ramallah called the mobile phone number for Hind’s uncle, but his 15-year-old daughter, Layan, answered instead.

    Operator Rana Faqih stayed on the line with Hind for hours, as the Red Crescent appealed to the Israeli army to allow their ambulance to access the location.

    It was after dark when the ambulance crew - Yousef and Ahmad - notified operators that they were nearing the location, and were about to be checked for entry by Israeli forces.

    Neither Red Crescent teams in Gaza, nor Hind’s family, have been able to reach the location, which still lies inside an active combat zone controlled by the Israeli army.
