The body of a six-year-old Palestinian girl, who begged the rescue teams in the Gaza Strip to save her from IDF fire, was found by her relatives - this is what the Palestinian Red Crescent said today (Saturday), 12 days after the straw with the girl Hind Rajab was cut off.
The Red Crescent accused Israel Bira aims at the ambulance that was sent to rescue Rajab, after hours of talking on the phone with the rescue teams, with gunshots being heard in the background. In addition to her, five of her relatives and two aid workers who were sent to rescue her were killed.
"The occupation deliberately harmed the Red Crescent team, despite Early coordination designed to allow an ambulance to arrive at the scene and rescue Hind," said the Palestinian aid organization. The IDF did not respond to requests for comment on the Red Crescent's statement.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that family members found Hand's body along with the bodies of her aunt and uncle and their three children while they were still in the car, near a square in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City.
The Red Crescent published a photo of the ambulance, which appeared to be almost completely burned.
In footage of the incident broadcast on Al Jazeera, the ambulance was seen very close to the car in which the Red Crescent said the family was traveling, a black Kia Picanto that was riddled with bullets.
Hind's plight, which was revealed in chilling audio clips from her terrifying conversation with the rescue forces 12 days ago, conveyed to the world the harsh conditions prevailing in the Strip throughout the four months of the war between Israel and Hamas.
The war broke out following the terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, in which 1,200 Israelis were murdered and more than 250 more people were kidnapped.
About half of them were released, while the rest are still being held in Gaza and some are no longer alive.
According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, more than 28,000 people were killed in IDF attacks, but the figures do not distinguish between civilians and militants. The army claims that they take all the necessary measures to avoid harming civilians, while Hamas operates from population concentrations and infrastructure Civilian facilities such as hospitals and schools.
However, international criticism of the IDF's way of fighting in Gaza is increasing, including from the United States, when President Joe Biden even said that Israel is acting in an "excessive" manner.

"I'm so scared, please come"
Audio clips released by the Red Crescent earlier this month recorded a call to dispatchers, first made by Hind's teenage cousin, Liane Hamada, saying an Israeli tank was approaching them before gunshots and her screams were heard.
Hand, who was apparently the only survivor, remained on the line for three hours with operators trying to calm her down while they prepared to send an ambulance.
"Come take me," Hand was heard crying in despair in another recording.
"I'm so scared, please come."
The Red Crescent claimed that after coordinating with the IDF through intermediaries, and receiving the green light from them, it determined that it was safe enough to send an ambulance there with two crew members, Yosef and Ahmed Al-Madhoun. laser.
We heard gunshots and then an explosion," said Red Crescent spokesman in Ramallah, Nibal Farsah.
Contact with both the ambulance crew and Hand was subsequently lost, leaving their families, colleagues and many around the world concerned for their fate.
"While we continue to investigate what exactly happened, we want to return And to emphasize that civilians must be protected - no child should fear for his life, surrounded by the bodies of his family members.
The fact that these were Hand's last moments is painful and unbearable," a spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross told Reuters.
