10 February 2024

After 12 days with no updates, the PRCS announced the deaths of 6 y/o Hind Rajab and the ambulance team who volunteered to go save her. Despite the PRCS working with the IOF to coordinate safe passage for the ambulance, the ambulance was found destroyed by IOF bombs, with both volunteer crew members Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun murdered inside. Hind was murdered inside the car, where she had been trapped for hours with the bodies of her family members.

Hind’s 15 y/o cousin Layan Hamadeh had called PRCS emergency services after the car in which she and her family, including her younger cousin Hind, came under heavy gunfire by the IOF. Layan was shot to death while on the phone with PRCS emergency dispatchers, a fact which is documented via recordings of the phone call. Hind then took the phone and begged the dispatchers to send help to take her away, as the IOF was still showering the car with bullets. Ambulance crew members Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun volunteered to go rescue Hind. Dispatchers soon last contact with the child. They then lost contact with Yusef and Ahmed when the ambulance arrived near the location of the vehicle by Fares petrol station in Tal Al-Hawa.

This point cannot be emphasized enough: the PRCS worked with the IOF, getting their agreement not to attack the ambulance as it arrived at the scene. The IOF agreed, and then knowingly bombed the ambulance anyway, while also knowingly killing 6 y/o Hind inside her family’s car. They knew there was a 6 y/o child inside that car, and kept firing until they murdered her. They knew the entire time what they were doing, and lied about cooperating with emergency services in order to maximize the number of lives they could take.

The depravity and impunity of the occupation is truly boundless. Hind’s final hours were spent in absolute terror, and Yusuf and Ahmed’s courage and selflessness were rewarded with their murders. The PRCS did everything right. They coordinated with the IOF and sought their permission for the ambulance to pass, something which was already required under international law. The IOF abused this attempt at cooperation by lying about their compliance, then deliberately murdering Hind, Yusuf, and Ahmed, in addition to Layan and her entire family.

We write this update in tears, having hoped and prayed for a different outcome like everyone else. This round of aggression by the IOF has already seen unimaginable cruelty, suffering, and impunity. The complete, deliberate, and flagrant violation of international law and human decency is a stain on the conscience of the Global North and every president, staffer, soldier, and bureaucrat who made this happen. May the recorded voices of Layan and Hind, begging for rescue before dying alone, haunt them for the rest of their days.

Remember Hind, Layan, Yusuf, and Ahmed. Do not let despair consume you. Fight for them, for a permanent ceasefire, for accountability, and for whatever justice can be achieved, even if it seems small and pointless. Tell the world what the occupation has done, share the recordings and the updates from people on the ground. No matter how bleak things are, it is always worthwhile to tell the truth and fight for what’s right.

Keep Hind’s mother, grandfather, and surviving relatives in your hearts.

“Yeah our theater is wheelchair accessible.”

“Okay great”

*Gets there and every audience area is perfectly wheelchair accessible but the stage itself is either impossible to access or only possible to access from the outside*

It fucking sucked that all the other kids were able to jump up from their seats straight to the stage and one kid had to go all the way around through the wood shop.

It fucking sucked that (different building) I was calling kid’s parents to the stage and one of the kids’ dads had to sit in front of the stage. There’s a whole elevator for the small set of stairs outside the auditorium but no access to the stage at all.

I’m not a wheelchair user so wheelchair users can tell me if I’m way off base but sometimes it seems like when people make a space accessible they’re thinking “how can we get gramma inside to have a seat” and not “how can an otherwise healthy young person who happens to use a wheelchair get themselves inside and use this building for all of its normal functions.”

Rafah, the safe zone.

I want to add something about these airstrikes in Rafah specifically, considering how densely populated it is right now following the displacement of over 1 million Palestinians from all over Gaza to Rafah throughout the past 4 months.

Regardless of how big or small these airstrikes are, the casualties are going to be massive. Every flat or house or tent that gets bombed would be housing entire families with 20 people at minimum living together in one space.

So as horrific as this sounds, Israel wouldn't need to do much to cause a massive impact with the number of people killed or injured, especially if it goes ahead with their Rafah military operation plan.

the law has already passed, as of last week. I can't emphasize enough how scary this is for the trans community here. please keep an eye out for any trans people you may know in the state, and consider avoiding utah if you're trans. this is beyond horrible for us here
