00:00 The story of little Hind Rajab has resonated widely on the news and social media platforms
00:07 since an audio recording of the six-year-old surfaced in a call she had with the Palestinian
00:15 Red Crescent.
00:17 Lian, Hind's relative, was talking on the phone when they said Israeli tanks opened
00:24 fire on the family and killed them.
00:28 Hind remained alive.
00:30 She picked up the phone and continued talking to the paramedic.
00:34 She was saying, "Come and take me.
00:37 When will you take me?"
00:42 The girl kept in touch with us by phone.
00:44 She said, "Mama, I'm scared.
00:46 The night will come on me and I'm alone."
00:48 She pleaded with us to save her, but we couldn't do anything.
00:52 May God have mercy on her.
00:53 My uncle, his wife, his son and three daughters were also killed with her in the car in addition
00:58 to Hind.
00:59 They were all children.
01:00 The Palestinian Red Crescent sent an ambulance to rescue Hind, but contact with the paramedics
01:07 was lost before they reached her.
01:10 Twelve days after the incident, the ambulance was found.
01:14 The paramedics, Yousef Zaino and Ahmed Al-Madhoon, were killed.
01:19 Meters away from them were the bodies of Hind and five of her family.
01:25 Since October 7, officials say more than 400 paramedics working with the Palestinian Red
01:31 Crescent and Ministry of Health have been killed.
01:34 They say dozens of ambulances have been targeted by the Israeli attacks.
01:39 Mahmoud Hassouna, a paramedic, said the ambulance crew that was assigned to rescue Hind moved
01:46 after ensuring protection through coordination with international organizations.
01:54 My colleagues went to rescue the little girl, Hind, who was stuck in the car in Gaza.
01:59 This mission was officially coordinated in accordance with the protocol followed by international
02:03 institutions with Israel, but they were bombed and we were not able to save them.
02:08 Hamas condemned the attack on Hind and her family in a statement.
02:12 The movement described the killing as a horrific crime and that it will not be forgotten.
02:19 We are fighting in Gaza.
