Amsterdam:
During an Israeli attack on Gaza City, a nine -year -old Palestinian boy who lost both arms, won a persecutor picture 2025 World Press Photo of the Year Award on Thursday.
The New York Times is depicted by Summer Abu Ilaoff, Mahmud Ajour, after an explosion, the Doha was evacuated and the other was mutated last year.
“Mahmud’s mother explained to me that when Mahmud first realized that his arms were dissected, one of the most difficult things explained to me, the first sentence he said, what he said, ‘How would I be able to hug you’?” Aloff said.
The photographer is also from Gaza and was evacuated himself in December 2023. She now hurts the Palestinians located in Doha.
“This is a quiet picture that speaks loudly. It tells the story of a boy, but also a broad war that will have an impact for generations,” said Joomma L Zeen Khauri, Executive Director of World Press Photo.
The jury praised the “strong composition and focus to light” and his ideas-stimulating content, especially the questions raised on the future of Mahmud.
Jury said that the boy is now learning to play games on his phone, write and open the doors with his feet.
The world press photo organizers said in a statement, “Mahmud’s dream is simple: he wants to get prosthetics and live his life as another child.”
Jury also chose two pictures for the runner-up award.
