“The occupation deliberately attacked the ambulance when it arrived at the scene, where it was found a few meters from the vehicle containing the trapped Hind child,” the Palestine Red Crescent statement said.
“Despite prior coordination to allow the ambulance to reach the scene to rescue the Hind boy, the occupation deliberately targeted the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance team,” he added.
In an audio tape released by the PRCS earlier this month, Hind was heard pleading over the phone with a member of the rescue team. It is believed that she was the only survivor and was scared because everyone she loved was dead.
