"For three-and-a-half long hours on Jan. 29, the cellphone in 6-year old Hind Rajab’s hands was the closest thing she had to a lifeline. Alone in the back seat of a car outside a #Gaza City gas station, she was drifting in and out of consciousness, surrounded by bodies, as she told emergency dispatchers that #Israeli tanks were rumbling closer.

The pair can be seen dislodging & shoving boulders over the edge while a frightened girl screams & pleads with her father to not fall.
