The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said that more than four days have passed since it heard from an ambulance team sent to rescue six-year-old Hind trapped in a car with the bodies of her 15-year-old sister Layan Hamada and others after they came under fire from an Israeli tank in Gaza City.

“More than 110 hours have passed and the fate of the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance team, Yousef Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun, who went to rescue the six-year-old girl, Hind, is still unknown,” PRCS said in a statement on Saturday.

“Where is Hind? Where are Yousef and Ahmed? We need to know their fate,” PRCS added.

“Little Hind” was trapped in a car with her family – who are believed to be dead – which had come under fire from Israeli forces last Monday.

The Red Crescent had released an audio recording of Hind’s sister Layan, aged 15, appealing for help amid sounds of gunfire.

However, Layan and other members of the family were later killed and little Hind was trapped inside the car as an ambulance crew attempted to rescue her.

There has not been any information about the fate of Hind and the ambulance workers since PRCS announced it lost contact with them.

PRCS has been appealing for information regarding the fate of Hind and the ambulance workers since the incident happened.

“We appeal to the international community to assist and intervene to protect civilians and health care and humanitarian workers,” the organization wrote in a post on X.
