Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Outrage as IOF bombed PRCS ambulance carrying Red Crescent workers, Ahmed Al-Madhoun and Yusuf Zeino, going to rescue 6-year-old girl, Hind Rajab, as it got bombarded in Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City…
“I am so scared,” she had said in a desperate phone call to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. “Call someone to come get me, please.”
But after more than two weeks of frantic efforts to reach her, Hind’s body was recovered on Saturday, alongside relatives and two PRCS rescue workers sent to find her.
The aid agency and the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip confirmed the grim discovery, and blamed Israeli forces.
Hind initially survived the shooting and managed to talk to her family by telephone and make an emergency call, which the PRCS published on February 3.
“For over three hours, Hind desperately pleaded for rescue from the occupation (Israeli) tanks surrounding her, enduring gunfire and the horror of being alone, trapped among the bodies of her relatives shot by the Israeli forces in front of her eyes,” it added.
Nothing more was then heard from the young girl, even as the ambulance was sent to get her, the organization said. Her grandfather said she was injured in the back, hand, and foot.
“She was frightened, terrified,” he told AFP, sobbing.
“Hind is my first grandchild, she’s a piece of my heart.”
There was no comment from the Israeli army when contacted by AFP.
