Rachel Corrie was 23 years old and from the state of Washington. She had come as an activist with the International Solidarity Movement to Rafah where she was murdered while trying to prevent Israeli army bulldozers from destroying a Palestinian home. Other foreigners who were with her said the driver of the bulldozer was aware that Rachel was there (she was wearing a bright orange jacket and had a megaphone), but continued to destroy the house. Initially he dropped sand and other heavy debris on her, then the bulldozer pushed her to the ground where it proceeded to drive over her, fracturing both of her arms, legs and skull. She was transferred to hospital, where she later died.
