Alt Text

A child's pencil and crayon drawing on a worn sheet of white paper that depicts an attack on their local village. A line of houses with pointed roofs that represent the village are all on fire from aerial bombardment by a jet painted in a camouflage pattern. Several unarmed human figures that represent the villages are seen running away from the scene, but the entire village is surrounded by soldiers in trucks with mounted machine guns, foot soldiers, and soldiers riding camels. The soldiers shoot their weapons at the fleeing villagers.
