CW: Horrific treatment of a disabled person in Gaza
"In July, the BBC published a story on its website about Muhammed Bhar, a 24-year-old Palestinian man with Down’s syndrome and autism.

In a statement on Tuesday, Mattel said it had worked with the National Down Syndrome Society in the #UnitedStates to make the doll, which has a shorter frame and longer torso than its other Barbies.
The new doll's face is also a rounder shape, and has almond-shaped eyes, smaller ears and a flat nasal bridge, Mattel said.
