A child's drawing in blue pen and crayon on a sheet of graph paper that depicts two on-fire houses surrounded by people armed with machine guns, all of whom are colored in green. Two figures can be seen trapped inside the burning houses and several other, unarmed figures outside the houses have been colored over with red, likely indicating they are dead or wounded from the attack. There are also illustrations of a cargo truck and a helicopter present.
