A 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was trapped in a car with her dead relatives after it came under Israeli fire in Gaza last month has been found dead.

On January 29, Hind Rajab had been travelling in a car with her uncle, his wife and their four children, fleeing fighting in northern Gaza, when they came under Israeli fire, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

鈥淭he child [Hind Rajab] and everyone in the car were found killed by the Israeli Army near the Fares petrol station in the Tal Al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City, after about two weeks of her unknown fate due to the Israeli military operation in the area,鈥� according to Khader Al Za鈥檃noun, a Palestinian journalist working for CNN who spoke to the child鈥檚 grandfather.

The PRCS also confirmed the death of two ambulance workers dispatched to rescue the girl.

鈥淭he occupation deliberately targeted the Red Crescent crew despite obtaining prior co-ordination to allow the ambulance to reach the location to rescue the girl Hind,鈥� read the statement.

Soon after the incident, CNN gave the Israeli military details about the incident last Friday, including coordinates provided by the Palestine Red Crescent Society. In response, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was 鈥渦nfamiliar with the incident described.鈥�

When contacted again by CNN, the IDF said they were 鈥渟till looking into it.鈥�

Hind鈥檚 cousin, 15-year-old Layan Hamadeh, made a desperate call for help to emergency services that was recorded by the PRCS and shared on social media. Audio of gunshots heard during the call revealed that Hamadeh was killed while making the call.

鈥淭hey are shooting at us. The tank is right next to me. We鈥檙e in the car, the tank is right next to us,鈥� Layan screams, amid intense gunfire in the background.

Layan then goes quiet, and the rounds of fire stop.

The paramedic on the phone tries to speak to her, repeatedly saying, 鈥淗ello? Hello?鈥� but there is no response.

Alone, terrified and trapped in the car with the bodies of her relatives around her, Hind made a desperate call for help.

鈥淐ome take me. Will you come and take me? I鈥檓 so scared, please come!鈥� Hind can be heard saying in a recording of the call to responders, released by the PRCS.

Hind鈥檚 mother Wissam Hamada said her daughter dreamed of becoming a doctor.

On Friday, she told CNN she was 鈥渨aiting for her every second. I wish for her all the best, like any mother wishes for her daughter the best things and the nicest things in the world.鈥�
