About this episode

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on Saturday, Feb 18, 2025. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

Six-year-old Hind Rajab spent three hours on the phone with Palestinian emergency services, crying for help, stranded in a car under Israeli fire in Gaza. Her relatives were killed while trying to escape. Twelve days later, she was found dead. What happened after Hind’s phone line went dark?
