Anadolu photojournalist Mustafa Hassouna won the Special Jury Mention at the World Press Photo competition with his photo titled Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza, the contest announced on Wednesday.
The photo shows a Palestinian woman surrounded by piles of rubble and devastation, the result of Israel’s relentless offensive on the Gaza Strip since last October.
The World Press Photo contest is organized by the Dutch Photojournalists Foundation.
The awarded photos were selected from over 61,000 entries by 3,851 photographers from 130 countries.
