ALBAWABA - The sad story of Hind Rajab has echoed throughout the world after the 6-year-old Palestinian girl was found dead hours after the car of her relatives was targeted by Israeli forces in Gaza City.

Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) posted on their official X account a new audio of Hind Rajab speaking to rescue workers about her latest moment of panic before being killed by Israeli forces.

"They are dead," Hind spoke to the rescue worker on the phone, who in return asked the little girl if she was still with her family members who were killed inside the car. Hind said that she was still inside the car.

The rescue worker also assured Hind Rajab that she would never hang up the phone until other Red Crescent rescuers reach Hind. 

"The tank is next to me," and "It is moving, yes," the 6-year-old said. She added that the tank is very very close to the car she was in.

The rescue worker asked Hind not to be scared when the latter told her "Please stay with me" on the line. 

Hind Rajab was also killed after being trapped alone in the car as the occupation first bombed the ambulance that was heading to rescue her, just a few meters away from her.

The attack on the ambulance also killed two PRCS paramedics Yusef Al-Zaino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun.

Days after she went missing, Hind's body was found after she was killed by Israeli forces along with two Red Crescent workers who left to rescue the little girl.
