LONDON: “This is my brother’s shroud,” said 12-year-old Jenan Abu Saada, lifting a clay figure she had shaped in an art workshop in central Gaza.
The image of her little brother’s body wrapped in cloth has never left her. Through her art, it lingers with everyone who sees it — a stark reminder of the heavy price war exacts on innocent lives.
Jenan’s brother was killed by unexploded ordnance after an Israeli assault on the Maghazi refugee camp, she told her art instructor, visual artist Jihad Jarbou.

Jarbou began working with children in central Gaza after realizing their desperate need for a safe space to express themselves.
