Alt Text

A child's drawing in blue pen and colored pencils on white paper of a large, chaotic scene of attack against a rural village and its schoolhouse. A helicopter dropping ordinance and a truck with a mounted machine gun are seen firing into the buildings, setting all of them on fire. A villager trying to escape on horseback is shot by a soldier hiding behind a tree, and a tank, sniper, and two men riding a camel fire at multiple people fleeing on foot. Some of the villagers lie on the ground in puddles of blood, while others are trapped near their burning homes because they have been cut off by soldiers wielding swords and machine guns.
