WINNER OF PHOTO OF THE YEAR // HANDOUT for World Press Photography Awards. ONE TIME USE ONLY. DO NOT CROP. EMBARGOED UNTIL 19:00 AEST // Pictured: Inas Abu Maamar (36) cradles the body of her niece Saly (5) who was killed, along with four other family members, when an Israeli missile struck their home. Khan Younis, Gaza, 17 October 2023. Story:At the outset of the Israel-Hamas war, Israel instructed Gazans to evacuate to the south for their safety. Yet, according to reports from The Guardian and Al Jazeera, Israeli airstrikes heavily bombarded Khan Younis in southern Gaza from mid-October. Many of those killed were families who had left Gaza City days earlier. By the end of 2023, Palestinian women and children accounted for more than two-thirds of the death toll in Gaza, according to OHCHR. The photographer describes this photo, taken just days after his own wife gave birth, as a Òpowerful and sad moment that sums up the broader sense of what was happening in the Gaza StripÓ. // Picture: Mohammed Salem, Reuters
