Ward Al-Sheikh Khalil: Fire Child
"WHEN I WOKE UP, I FOUND A HUGE FIRE, AND I SAW MY MOM WAS DEAD. I WALKED IN THE FIRE SO I COULD ESCAPE ALONE."
Five-year-old Ward Al-Sheikh Khalil escaped an inferno to survive an Israeli airstrike that hit the school where she and her family were sheltering, which killed her mother and 5 of her siblings on May 25, 2025.
Solidarity is a physical practice.
“The victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim has ceased to be a victim: he or she is a threat.”
— James Baldwin, The Devil Finds Work
