Haunting Portrait of Palestinian Boy Named 2025 World Press Photo of the Year
Once again, an image of the human cost of war was named World Press Photo of the Year. In 2024, Mohammed Salem's haunting photo of a woman cradling her dead niece, who was killed in Israeli airstrikes, was honored with the prize. And in 2025, Samar Abu Elouf gives a glimpse of the reality for children who may have made it out of Gaza alive, but will be forever be marked by these horrific events.
