Image of Palestinian child wins photo of the year

A picture of a Palestinian boy who lost both arms was named the best picture of 2024.


According to World Press Photo, this image was taken by Palestinian photographer Samar Abu al-Uf.


The photo shows 9-year-old Mahmoud, who lost his arm in the Israeli attack on Gaza in March 2024.


His family was later evacuated to Qatar, where Mahmoud received necessary treatment and is now learning to use a phone, write, and open doors with his foot.


His dream is to have prosthetic arms that will allow him to live like a normal child.
