The children express their feelings about the war through their drawings.

I am 11 years old and from Tyre. I drew the sun because the world is sad. I remembered my grandmother when she used to tell us how they left Palestine, and how now we left our home in South Lebanon.

I am 9 years old and from Majadil village. I need a house, so I will draw one because I do not know what happened to our house. I drew a house but it’s tilted because a bomb had hit it, and I drew dry grass, a sad sun and a bent over flower.
