The United States calls the death of six-year-old Gaza girl Hind Rajab, who days earlier had pleaded for help, „heartbreaking“ and urges a prompt Israeli investigation. „It is just a devastating account, a heartbreaking account, for this child, and of course there have been thousands of other children who have died as a result of this conflict,“ State Department spokesman Matthew Miller tells reporters, adding, „We have asked the Israeli authorities to investigate this incident on an urgent basis.“ SOUNDBITE
