Hind Rajab, Gaza 6-Year-Old Who Spoke Of Fear On Phone To Rescuers, Found Dead

[Nanjeanne]

I have been following this since the first time I heard that horrific call and her poor cries. I knew it wouldn't have a good ending but, for some reason, knowing now -- it's even harder.

"I'm so scared. Please come," the young girl said while under fire.

Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old child in Gaza who pleaded on the phone to be rescued from a mangled car where she was surrounded by her dead relatives, was found dead alongside them nearly two weeks later, according to her family and the Palestine Red Crescent Society.

Hind’s body was located in the Tel al-Hawa section of Gaza City on Saturday after Israeli forces retreated from the area. The bombed-out remains of an ambulance dispatched to rescue her were found close by.

Hind had stayed on the phone for around three hours with the Palestine Red Crescent Society on Jan. 29, desperately pleading for help, the agency said.

She was reportedly fleeing the city with her aunt, uncle and cousins when they were caught in gunfire. It was Layan Hamadeh, Hind’s 15-year-old cousin, who initially called the Red Crescent for help until falling silent.

And I'm begging some people here . . . don't come with the "but Hamas" stuff. Can we not all agree - as human beings - that both can be horrific and by posting something about one child doesn't imply anything but complete and utter sadness? *if this gets this post banned - so be it*
