Alt Text

A child's drawing in blue pen with color details done in red pen and green crayon of a large village under attack by military vehicles and personnel. The village houses are drawn in rows divided by roads, creating multiple blocks of buildings. There are five military helicopters colored green flying over the village and three trucks with mounted machine guns and four foot soldiers seen up and down the far left of the page, also colored in green. In the village's roads and at the bottom and right edges of the page are depictions of many villagers, about half of whom lie on the ground with red pen marks over their bodies.
