Alt Text

A child's drawing on lined paper in blue ink and crayon that depicts a group of people armed with large-caliber rifles surrounding a group of cattle or other livestock. Two of the aggressors are on foot, three ride on camels, and one is on horseback and all of them hold their guns in the air in a show of aggression. In the background, two airplanes are seen shooting something at two houses that are on fire. A woman carrying a container on her head is also seen amongst the chaos. Dead and bloody bodies lie on the ground.
