This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Palestinian Red Crescent said Friday that more than three days had passed since it heard from an ambulance team sent to rescue a 6-year-old girl believed to be trapped in a car with the bodies of her 15-year-old relative Layan Hamadeh and others after they were fired on by an Israeli tank.

Please come," Hind Rajab is heard saying in a recording of a phone call to ambulance coordinators, which was released by the Palestinian Red Crescent.

Response Coordinator Ranah Al Faqeh said in a video posted online by the Palestinian Red Crescent that Rajab stayed in communication over the phone with them for three hours, repeating her pleas to be rescued and saying she was afraid of the dark as night fell.

Aid workers from the Red Crescent called contact numbers they'd been given for people believed to have been caught up in the violence and a teenage girl answered, the charity's Central Operations Officer Omar Al Qam said in a video posted online.

A Red Crescent psychological support worker stayed on with her until her exact location could be coordinated and an ambulance team was dispatched.

Israel launched its ongoing offensive in Gaza against Hamas, which has controlled the enclave for almost two decades, in response to the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 terror attack, during which almost 1,200 people were killed and more about 240 abducted.
