She had become the symbol of all the children involved in the clash between Israel and the Islamist militias after the phone call asking for help from the Red Crescent went around the world. Little Hind Rajab was found dead. Six-year-old Palestinian was missing after the car she was traveling in with her family was hit by a raid in Gaza. The relatives had died, while the little girl had managed to survive and had called for help on the phone. Then nothing more was heard of her.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, two doctors sent to look for her were killed by Israeli forces.

Hind Rajab was last seen about two weeks ago. Some family members made the dramatic discovery when they reached the Tel al-Hawa area of Gaza City, searching for the car near a petrol station where it had been spotted. “She was killed by the (Israeli) occupation forces together with everyone who was with her in the car outside the Tel al-Hawa petrol station,” the Hamas-run Gaza Strip's health ministry said.
