May 3rd 2026 Hind Rajab would have been 8 today ..A life taken away so meaninglessly..💔
Hind Rajab was a five-year-old girl from Gaza who was killed on January 29, 2024. Her story gained international attention due to a heart-wrenching emergency call she made to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) while trapped in a car under fire. While fleeing the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City with family, their car came under fire from an Israeli tank. Hind was initially the only survivor, surrounded by her deceased relatives. Hind spent three hours on the phone with PRCS dispatchers, pleading for rescue. Her final recorded words, including "I'm so scared, please come,"
An ambulance was dispatched to save her after coordination with Israeli authorities. However, the ambulance was reportedly targeted and destroyed, killing two paramedics. After twelve days, when Israeli forces withdrew from the area, the bodies of Hind, her family, and the paramedics were discovered. Forensic investigations, including by Forensic Architecture, concluded the car had been hit by 335 bullets from a tank positioned just meters away.
Rest in peace beautiful angel 🕊️
