23 minuters ovationer för film om Hind Rajab i Gaza
En dokumentär om femåriga Hind Rajab som dödades av israeliska styrkor i Gaza förra året fick en 23 minuter lång ovation efter premiären på Venedigs filmfestival. Det rapporterar The Guardian.
Filmkritiker har beskrivit ”The voice of Hind Rajab”, regisserad av den tunisiske filmskaparen Kaouther Ben Hania, som festivalens starkaste och mest angelägna film.
Filmen slutar med en rekonstruktion av det sista, desperata telefonsamtalet från barnet.
Hind Rajab tillbringade sin sista stund i livet instängd i ett bilvrak, omgiven av dödade familjemedlemmar. Hon lyckades kontakta Palestinska Röda Halvmånen men sjukvårdspersonalen som kom för att leta efter henne dödades. Även Hind dödades.

Hind Rami Iyad Rajab (Arabic: هند رامي إياد رجب; 3 May 2018 – 29 January 2024) was a five-year-old Palestinian girl in the Gaza Strip who was killed by Israeli forces during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, which also killed six of her family members and two paramedics coming to her rescue.
Rajab and her family were fleeing Gaza City when their vehicle was shelled, killing her uncle, aunt and three cousins, with Rajab and another cousin surviving and contacting the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) to ask for help while noting that they were being attacked by an Israeli tank. The cousin was later also killed and Rajab was left stranded in the vehicle for hours on the phone, as paramedics from PRCS attempted to rescue her. Both Rajab and the paramedics were later also found killed on 10 February after an Israeli withdrawal.
Israel claimed that there were not any troops present in the neighborhood and denied carrying out the attack. However, this was refuted by The Washington Post and Sky News's investigations relying on satellite imagery and visual evidence, which concluded that a number of Israeli tanks were indeed present and one had likely fired 335 rounds on the car that Rajab and her family had been in, with tank operators being able to see that the car had civilians including children in it. The Forensic Architecture investigation also concluded that an Israeli tank had also likely attacked the ambulance that came for Rajab.
In the aftermath of the killing, Western media outlets were criticized for their coverage of the incident, including for not attributing who killed Rajab and for their adultification of her. American student protestors renamed overtaken buildings in honor of Rajab, such as Hind's Hall at Columbia University, drawing increased attention to the incident.
