Gaza children’s funeral shot wins World Press Photo
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | February 15, 2013 18:31A photo of Gazans taking two children and their father killed in an Israeli air strike for burial has won the 2013 World Press Photo award for Swedish photographer Paul Hansen, judges said Friday.
The staff shooter for the Dagens Nyheter daily took the image of the funeral procession carrying carrying two-year-old Suhaib Hijazi and her three-year-old brother Muhammad down an alley in Gaza City on November 20, 2012.
“The strength of the pictures lies in the way it contrasts the anger and sorrow of the adults with the innocence of the children,” said Mayu Mohanna, jury member from Peru. “It’s a picture I will not forget.”
The children’s father Fouad was also killed in the air strike and their mother was put in intensive care.
