The woman in the photo is Rawya abu Jom’a, who was injured in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City in 2014. The photo of a then 17-year-old Rawya was taken in 2014 by award-winning photojournalist Heidi Levine.

Pakistan on Sunday brandished the photo of a woman with facial injuries at the United Nations General Assembly on Sunday. The country’s Permanent Representative to the UN Maleeha Lodhi claimed the woman was a “victim of pellet gun injury in Kashmir”.
