EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the courageous spirit of Sally Becker, a British Aid Worker who became an emblematic figure during the Bosnian War. Taken in August 1993, it shows Sally returning to Mostar's war hospital for the second time in just two weeks. At only 33 years old, this artist from Hove in Sussex had already earned the title of "Angel of Mostar" for her remarkable acts of heroism. In a city torn apart by conflict, Sally fearlessly maneuvered through constant sniper fire to rescue wounded children trapped amidst chaos and destruction. With unwavering determination, she drove her battered London ambulance into the heart of the war zone on one-woman mercy missions that defied all odds. However, not everyone applauded Sally's selfless efforts. Her actions stirred controversy and even angered some factions within the United Nations. Nonetheless, her commitment to saving lives remained unshaken. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of those brave individuals who risk their own safety to bring hope and aid to those suffering most. It encapsulates both the resilience and compassion embodied by aid workers like Sally Becker during times of crisis. Taken by Ian Derry as part of his series on 1990s humanitarian work and charities, this image is more than just a snapshot; it represents an extraordinary chapter in history when ordinary people rose above adversity to make an extraordinary difference.
