The protagonists of the film "The Voice of Hind Rajab"

Wissam Hamadah, the mother of 5-year-old Palestinian Hind Rajab, confesses that she does not have the courage to see the film "The Voice of Hind Rajab", which was shown at the Venice Film Festival and received a 23-minute standing ovation.

"I have that voice inside me, I don't need to see it on the screen. It's very difficult for a mother to see her daughter killed. I just hope this film makes the world hear the voice of Hindi," she says from Gaza, amid bombings and evacuation orders.

The little girl's story has been in the public eye since January 29, 2024, when the Rajab family tried to flee the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood to seek refuge at the Baptist Hospital. The car in which Hind was traveling with her uncles and cousins ​​was shot by the Israeli army with over 300 bullets. Everyone was killed, including the two ambulance workers who went to save them. Only Hind survived for several hours, calling her mother and the Red Crescent Operations Center in Ramallah.

"She begged me to go get her, she said 'mom, I'm alone, save me'. I tried to calm her down by telling her that the ambulance was nearby, but she knew it wasn't true. I asked her to forgive me, because this time I couldn't go hug her like always. She said: 'I'm sorry, mom'. These are the words I keep in my heart," says Wissam with a trembling voice.

Shortly before he lost his life, Hind complained of blood in his mouth and pain in his legs and back.

"When they asked her to wipe the blood with her sleeve, she said she didn't want to get her shirt dirty so I wouldn't have to worry about washing it. Then I told her, 'Don't worry, I'll wash it when you get home.' Then her voice died away forever," the mother recalls.

The girl's body was later found inside the car. Unlike the others' bodies, which had begun to decompose, hers was almost intact.

Today, Wissam lives trapped among the ruins of Gaza with her young son, Eyas, while her husband has been missing since December 2023 after the attack on Al Shifa Hospital.

"I am with my large family, over 20 people in one house. We have nowhere to go. There is no room left in the south, the streets are full of people. Even if the soldiers come in, I will not leave," she says.

For him, the film by Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania, who has made him a close part of the project, is the last hope.

"Hindi's voice didn't save him, but it can wake up the world and protect other children of Gaza," she says.
