The staff shooter for the Dagens Nyheter daily took the image of the funeral procession carrying two-year-old Suhaib Hijazi and his 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 martyred in the air strike and their mother was put in intensive care. He was carried behind his children in the procession.
