Editorial Cartoon
A single tattered, hole-riddled umbrella held up against a downpour of missiles raining from above. The umbrella is nearly destroyed, with only a few intact panels remaining, conveying the desperate inadequacy of depleted air defenses against an intensifying onslaught. The visual instantly communicates the futility of insufficient protection.
+How this was made

It has broad international relevance (food security, arms supply dynamics) and a clear satirical angle about asking for 5% of a stockpile while facing an overwhelming barrage.
