Alt Text

A child's sketch in blue pen on graph paper of a truck with a mounted gun, a helicopter dropping ordinance, and several human figures. One of the figures appears to be playing soccer, with a ball seen near their feet. Another person stands directly underneath the helicopter, and two other figures stand on either side of it. Small notes in Arabic are seen at the bottom of the page.
