Photo of the Year

 World Press Photo 2025
The 2025 World Press Photo of the Year award was given to Gazan photographer Samar Abu Elouf for her image titled “Mahmoud Ajjour, aged nine”, part of a series documenting the lives of children in Gaza amid the conflict.
Mahmoud Ajour, 9 years old, lost both hands after being hit by a missile from Israeli warplanes during the war on Gaza, in Doha, Qatar, June 28, 2024. A portrait project on wounded Gazans in Doha. Story summary: Amputations. Disfiguration. Brain damage. Their injuries are life-changing. Badly wounded Gazans survived a war that has killed tens of thousands. They made it out for medical treatment in Qatar, where we photographed and interviewed them. They are alive — even if some are not sure they still want to be. World Press Caption: Mahmoud Ajjour, 9. Mahmoud’s family fled their home after Israeli shells began falling. The going was slow, and the boy went back to urge everyone on. When an explosion ripped off one hand and mangled the other, his pleas changed. He asked to be left behind, saying: “I am going to die.” In Qatar, Mahmoud is using his feet for everything. “My biggest wish now is to get prosthetics,” he says.
