A year on from the start of the war, many have questioned the IDF’s alleged targeting and negligent killing of civilians. Among them is the mother of five-year-old girl Hind Rajab.
Buried in Gaza’s rubble are the forgotten victims of this war, and with them are buried the stories of how they were killed.
A year on from the start of the war, many have questioned the IDF’s alleged targeting and negligent killing of civilians in its conflict with Hamas. Among those calling for justice is a mother whose young daughter was killed in an incident that shocked the world.
Five-year-old Hind Rajab was killed alongside six members of her family in a car, while trying to escape the fighting in Gaza City in January. Her heartbreaking cries for help were recorded in real time in telephone calls with emergency services, which were made public.
“I am calling on the whole world to stand with us… so those who committed this brutal crime are held accountable,” her mother, Wissam Hamada, told us from her temporary home in Gaza. “I need justice for my daughter.”
