The Martyr: Hind Rajab

Hind was a six-year-old girl, whose story gained international attention when she was the sole survivor of an Israeli tank shelling on the Kia she and her aunt, uncle and four cousins were riding in. Hind’s call for help with members of the @palestineredcrescent detailed how the family was targeted by the Israeli military, leaving her alone with the dead bodies of her family members for hours, telling medical personnel, “I’m so scared, please come” and that she (like most kids) was afraid of the dark. Eventually, all contact with Hind was lost.

Although two Red Crescent Society members tried to reach Hind, they too were found dead several days later. News reports show the Red Crescent was able to get within meters of the family’s car before also being targeted by a tank, despite clearly being marked as medical personnel.
