De Hague: A picture of Gaza related to Israel-Hamas war has been chosen as ‘World Press Photo of the Year’. Seeing this picture, your tears will spill. This picture is the most vibrant picture that describes the magnitude of war. This picture was taken by a photographer living in Qatar. It has a picture of a Palestinian boy who lost both his hands in the Israeli attack, who was chosen ‘World Press Photo of the Year’ on Thursday.
The picture taken by Palestinian photographer Summer Abu Aluf, who lives in Qatar for ‘The New York Times’, is of a nine -year -old boy Mahmud Ajur, who does not have both hands. In a statement issued by the World Press Photo Organization, Eloff said, “Mahmud’s mother told me the heart touching thing that when Mahmood first realized that both his hands had been cut, the sentence he said first was, ‘How will I hug you?” Jumana L Jean Khori, executive director of the World Press Photo, said, “This is a silent picture that is telling everything without speaking. It is telling a broad war story with a boy, which will have an impact for generations.”

The organization said in a statement that the picture was done when Ajur was injured in March 2024 while escaping from an Israeli attack. According to the World Press Photo, “When he turned back to see his family, one of his hands was cut off in one explosion and the other was mutilated.” Award winning photographer Abu Eluf was expelled from Gaza in December 2023 and now lives in the same apartment in Doha, the capital of Qatar, where Ajur lives. On October 7, 2023, Israel started attacking Gaza in response to Hamas’s attack. According to Palestine’s Health Ministry, 51,000 Palestinians have died in the Israeli attacks. At the same time, more than 1,200 people died in Hamas attack, most of which were common people while 251 people were taken hostage. (AP)
