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

TRAVEL FEATURE PHOTO ESSAY: Cormorant fishing on the Nagara River has played a vital role in the history of the city of Gifu in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The practice is a 1,300-year-old tradition where fishing masters - known as ushō - use Japanese cormorants to catch fish, primarily ayu (sweetfish). As a sign of respect for the skills of these fishing masters, they have received the official title of “Cormorant Fishermen of the Imperial Household Agency,” a hereditary title that is passed from father to son through the ages. It takes at least ten years to become a cormorant fishing master, with the the first fish caught each year being sent to the royal family at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Picture: Nicholas Eagar
