EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and powerful image captured by Zohra Bensemra, the shadow of an internally displaced girl fleeing Raqqa is cast at a water point in a camp located in Ain Issa, north of Raqqa, Syria. The photograph, taken on August 12,2017, serves as a haunting reminder of the harsh realities faced by innocent children caught in the midst of conflict. The silhouette of the young girl against the backdrop of the water point symbolizes both hope and despair. It represents her desperate search for life's most basic necessity - clean water - while also reflecting her vulnerability and displacement from home due to violence and turmoil. Through this single frame frozen in time, we are confronted with the devastating consequences that war inflicts upon innocent lives. The shadows seem to echo her silent cries for safety and stability amidst chaos. This photograph not only captures one individual's struggle but also serves as a stark representation of countless others who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict. It reminds us all that behind every statistic lies a human story filled with pain, resilience, and longing for peace. Zohra Bensemra's evocative print compels us to reflect on our shared humanity and calls upon us to take action towards creating a world where no child has to endure such suffering or live under constant fear.
