_ Please listen to Hind’s voice, her whispers, her pleas. Allow her
voice to resonate. Demand an immediate end to Israel’s ongoing
violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.
Boycott. Divest. And don’t buy into genocide. _

January 29, 2026, marks the second year since the Israeli military,
using U.S. provisioned weapons, murdered
[[link removed]] Hind Rajab.
Had she lived, this little Palestinian girl who liked to dress up as a
princess would now be 7 ½ years old. An Israeli Defense Force unit
fired a barrage of missiles at the car in which she and her relatives
were fleeing from an Israeli military invasion of their neighborhood.

The family’s fatal ordeal began on January 29, 2024, in Tel al-Hawa,
an area south of Gaza City, when Israeli forces ordered Hind’s
family to evacuate from their home. Hind’s mother, Wissam Hamada,
and an older sibling set forth on foot. It was raining heavily, and
Hind’s mother didn’t want her walking through the storm. Hind
joined her aunt, uncle, and four cousins as they fled by car from
invading Israeli forces. Hoping to reach a shelter at the Al Ahli
hospital, Hind’s uncle sought advice from the Palestine Red Crescent
office about what route would be safe to take. But before they could
find refuge, the Israeli military fired on their car, immediately
killing Hind’s aunt, uncle and three of her cousins. 

Her surviving cousin, fifteen-year-old Layan, was able to re-connect,
by phone, with relief workers at the Palestinian Red Crescent office.
That conversation ended when Layan screamed that the tank was very
near and the relief workers then heard an explosion. Hind watched in
horror as Layan was killed. The relief workers called Hind. The
utterly frightened girl answered, and they urged her to remain hidden
in the car and try to be calm. Rescuers would come, they said. But it
would be suicidal for relief workers to set forth without first
coordinating with the Israeli military. It took several hours for the
Israeli military to give clearance for two ambulance workers to travel
the approved route, an eight-minute drive
[[link removed].],
in hopes of rescuing Hind. 

Surrounded by the corpses of her family members, Hind pleaded with the
Red Crescent workers to come soon. “I’m so scared,” she told
them. “Please come.” 

But when the rescuers were within 162 feet of the vehicle where Hind
was trapped, Israeli tank fired missiles assassinated
[[link removed]] them. 

Hind’s voice continues reaching people. Three award winning films
[[link removed]] have told her story,
awakening consciences, worldwide, to Israel’s ongoing genocide.

Hind’s voice echoes, tragically, in the pleas of Palestinian
children today who face torture and death at the hands of Israel’s
genocidal policy makers and militarists. Palestinian children living
in makeshift tents, soaked and chilled by winter storms, long for
relief. Hind’s pure innocence speaks for them, also, these little
ones who could never be mistaken for criminals or security threats,
little ones who beg for warmth and protection. The vocabulary changes
slightly: Please come. I’m so cold. Please come. I’m so sick.

Yet trucks laden with relief supplies remain blocked
[[link removed]],
at the border crossings, while children who are near death suffer
under tortuous conditions. 

More than 100 children are reported to have died
[[link removed]] in Gaza since the
October 2025 ceasefire.

 A January 26, 2026 UNICEF report notes
[[link removed]] that
Israel’s relentless attacks have decimated water and sewage systems
in Gaza. Since the onset of winter, heavy rainfall has caused unsafe
water to flood densely populated areas where people are crowded into
makeshift tents. The grounds become muddy, making hygiene nearly
impossible as people sleep in saturated clothes and bedding. Storms
have collapsed tents. Fuel for generators is scarce, and there has
been no central electricity for over two years. 

Lacking warm blankets and sleeping on cold, wet ground, children with
weakened immunities risk dying of hypothermia and waterborne
illnesses. 

So far, this winter, as of January 27, 11 infants
[[link removed]] under
the age of one have died from hypothermia and extreme cold. 

A 34-year-old mother in the al-Mawasi tent camp near Khan Younis
remains devastated
[[link removed]] after
she lost her two-week-old infant who died because of the extreme
cold. 

“I woke my husband immediately so we could take him to the
hospital,” she told Al Jazeera. “But he couldn’t find any means
of transportation to get us there.”

Heavy rain made it impossible to reach the hospital. The next morning,
using a donkey cart, they raced to the hospital, but it was too late.
Mohammad Abu al-Khair died on December 15, 2025.

In Khan Younis, 27-day old Ayesha Ayesh al-Agha
[[link removed]] died
of hypothermia on January 17, 2026. 

On January 20th, in Gaza City, Shaza Abu Jarad
[[link removed]],
three months old, died of hypothermia

Each infant lived in a tent, unprotected from the cold and rain. 

Please listen to Hind’s voice, her whispers, her pleas. Allow her
voice to resonate. Demand an immediate end to Israel’s ongoing
violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. Urge
the international community to ensure that Israel and all countries
participating in its genocide are held accountable under international
law. Boycott. Divest. [[link removed]] And don’t buy
into genocide.
