Alt Text

A child's colored drawing on white paper of various figures colored in green pointing weapons at a small depiction of a village and the people within it, including a woman with a basket on her head who is holding the hand of a child. Some of the attackers are riding on camels, a few are in a truck with a mounted machine gun, and a final figure on foot is seen graphically shooting a person who has collapsed and has red pen lines emerging from their mouth, representing blood. The young artist uses the same red pen lines to represent fire on the roofs of the houses.
