Children of Gaza Apr 21, 2025

On this easter monday, #catholic #christians mourn the leader of their church, #Pope #Francis, an 88 year old man who passed away after long illness and called for a #ceasefire in #Gaza.

I wish the world would mourn the elderly #Palestinian #people who survived the #Nakba (1947-49) as #children and were killed in the ongoing #genocide.

The elderly #Palestinian lady's name who posed as a model for this series "Our Mother Palestine" is Karima Shaheen. She died during the #genocide. In honor of her and all #grandmothers of #Gaza here's another piece by #digital #artist Read Al Qatanani (*1973)
