The U.N. commission devoted special attention in its report to particularly egregious allegations, one of which was the story of five-year-old Hind Rajab and her family, and the paramedics who tried to save her life.

On Jan. 29, a car carrying Hind and her cousin, 15-year-old Leyan Hamada, as well as Hind’s aunt and uncle and three other cousins, was attacked by Israel Defense Forces while trying to evacuate from an area under heavy bombardment.

When the dispatchers called back, Hind answered and told them her cousin was dead.

Twelve days later, after the Israeli military finally withdrew from the area, the family members’ bodies, including Hind’s, were retrieved from the bullet-ridden car.

That’s why watching swearing Aussies fall in love while they care for a scruffy pup with wheel-aided hind legs is the soothing balm our brains need right now.
