Paramedics treated her at the scene before taking her to hospital where she died. A family member said the girl was “very loved” and her death was “tragic”. “She had a long life in front of her.
“I told there was a man screaming the name of a child. He was holding a child that was limp,” Jabar Stanikzai said. “I thought that I might have saved a life, you know. My brother showed me the news - the five-year-old child was dead. “I got really sad because I have a sister that’s three, turning four this year. After I went to bed I thought, what if that was my sister, what if that was my brother.” Devastated neighbours have laid flowers outside the family home on Thursday.
