The Palestine Red Crescent Society released an audio recording of one of the phone calls made by 5-year-old Hind Rajab to the society. In the recording, a member of the society read the Quran with Hind in an attempt to calm her fear. Hind Rajab was found dead last week nearly two weeks after she was trapped in a car with her dead relatives and surrounded by Israeli forces. Her mother, Wissam Rajab, told Middle East Eye that the family were separated when they tried to flee the area, which was under intense Israeli attacks. Due to poor weather, Wissam had put her daughter in the vehicle along with her uncle, his wife and their children, while the rest of the family fled on foot. She received a call from Layan Hamadeh, her 15-year-old cousin, saying: “Hind and I are wounded, and all my family is dead, I don't want to die. Please call an ambulance to save us. I'm scared. The tanks are 500 metres away from me.“ The line went dead, and Wissam thought both girls had been killed. But when she called again, Hind answered and said: “I'm alive, but Layan was martyred. Mum, I'm afraid, they are all dead. Come and get me.“ The PRCS dispatched Yousef Zeino and Ahmed al Madhoun, two paramedics to rescue Hind but the ambulance the men were driving was also targeted and the remains of their bodies were found in the charred vehicle.
