Reuters photographer Mohammed Salem won the prestigious 2024 World Press Photo of the Year award

on Thursday for his image of a Palestinian woman cradling the body of her five-year-old niece in the Gaza Strip.

Announcing its annual awards, the Amsterdam-based World Press Photo Foundation said it was important to recognise the dangers facing journalists covering conflicts. “This past year, the death toll in Gaza pushed the number of journalists killed to a near-record high. It is important to recognise the trauma they have experienced to show the world the humanitarian impact of the war.”

“I felt the picture sums up the broader sense of what was happening in the Gaza Strip,” Salem said when the image was first published in November.
