trying to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling that states should

food and shelter were scarce. Although relief workers tried to provide basic health
services, children died from disease or dehydration. Eight months later, the United

by her in-laws. Men arrived there one night demanding that she be handed over to
be punished for running away. Aisha was taken to a mountain clearing, where, at
the orders of a Taliban commander, she was held down and had first her ears
sliced off, then her nose. In local culture, a man who has been shamed by his wife
is said to have lost his nose, and this is seen as punishment in return. Aisha was
abandoned, but later rescued and taken to a shelter in Kabul run by the aid
organization Women for Afghan Women, where she was given treatment and
psychological help. After time in the refuge, she was taken to America to receive
further counseling and reconstructive surgery.

Caption
Fatima al-Qaws cradles her son Zayed (18), who is suffering from the effects of tear gas
after participating in a street demonstration, in Sanaa, Yemen, on 15 October. Ongoing
protests against the 33-year-long regime of authoritarian President Ali Abdullah Saleh
escalated that day. Witnesses said that thousands marched down Zubairy Street, a main
city thoroughfare, and were fired on when they reached a government checkpoint near
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some demonstrators retreated, others carried on and
were shot at again. At least 12 people were killed and some 30 injured. Ms Qaws—who
was herself involved in resistance to the regime—found her son after a second visit to
look for him, among the wounded at a mosque that was being used as a temporary field
hospital. Zayed remained in a coma for two days after the incident. He was injured on
two further occasions, as demonstrations continued. On 23 November, President Saleh
flew to Saudi Arabia, and signed an agreement transferring power to his deputy,
Abdurabu Mansur Hadi. Saleh’s rule ended formally when Hadi was sworn in as
president, following an election, on 25 February 2012.

A bad drought coupled with the effects of civil war caused a terrible famine in Somalia which claimed the lives of between one and two million people over a period of two years, more than 200 a day in the worst affected areas. The international airlift of relief supplies which started in July was hampered by heavily armed gangs of clansmen who looted food storage centers and slowed down the distribution of the supplies by aid organizations.
  • 72. Year 1993 Photographer Larry Towell Nationality Canada Organization / Publication Magnum Photos Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 00-03-1993 Country Place Gaza City, Gaza Strip Caption Boys raise toy guns in a gesture of defiance. The Palestinian uprising, which began in December 1987, strengthened the Arab population in their determination to fight the occupying force. In March Israel closed its border with Gaza, causing a massive rise in unemployment. With more than 800,000 people contained in the Israeli-patrolled, eight-km-wide strip of land, bloodshed increased sharply. The peace agreement signed in Washington on September 13 promised limited authority for the Gaza Strip and a withdrawal of the Israeli army.
  • 74.

The animosity between the Hutu and Tutsi population groups in Rwanda had been simmering for decades. In April, the death of Hutu president Habyarimana in a plane crash near the capital of Kigali sparked murderous attacks on the Tutsi minority and Hutu moderates. The situation deteriorated further when the mainly Tutsi rebels of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) started pushing south from their stronghold in northern Rwanda. A mass exodus of people trying to escape excessive violence was underway by July.
  • 76. Year 1995 Photographer Lucian Perkins Nationality USA Organization / Publication The Washington Post Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 00-05-1995 Country Russia Place Chechnya Caption A bus on the road leading to Grozny during fighting between Chechen independence fighters and Russian troops. The civil war which erupted when President Yeltsin sent troops to the rebellious province in December 1994 was still dragging on months later. When the Chechen fighters fled Grozny, the capital, where the war had claimed a horrendous human and material toll, Russian troops pursued them into the countryside to the south and east.
  • 78. Year 1996 Photographer Francesco Zizola Nationality Italy Organization / Publication Contrasto Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 00-04-1996 Country Angola Place Kuito Caption Landmine victims in Kuito, a town where many people were killed and traumatized during the civil war. To date some 70,000 Angolans, 8,000 of them children, have been disabled by exploding mines. For decades colonizers, armies and freedom fighters laid mines randomly on roads and bridges in order to disrupt communications. As a result, there are today probably as many unexploded land mines in Angola as there are inhabitants.
  • 80. Year 1997 Photographer Hocine Nationality Algeria Organization / Publication Agence France- Presse Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 23-09-1997 Country Algeria Place Algiers Caption A woman cries outside the Zmirli Hospital, where the dead and wounded were taken after a massacre in Bentalha.

  • 86. Year 2000 Photographer Lara Jo Regan Nationality USA Organization / Publicationfor Life Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 03-12-2000 Country USA Place Las Colonias, Texas Caption The mother of a Mexican immigrant family makes piñatas to support herself and her children. The family numbers among the millions of 'uncounted' Americans, people who for one reason or another have been missed by the national census and so don't exist in population records. Census records determine where new schools, hospitals, firehouses and basic social services are needed. Areas like Las Colonias, where this family lives, thus lack many amenities and have high illiteracy rates.
  • 88. Year 2001 Photographer Erik Refner Nationality Denmark Organization / Publication Berlingske Tidende Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 07-06-2001 Country Pakistan Place Caption The body of a one-year-old boy who died of dehydration is prepared for burial at Jalozai refugee camp. The child's family, originally from North Afghanistan, had sought refuge in Pakistan from political instability and the consequences of drought. The family gave the photographer permission to attend as they washed and wrapped his body in a white funeral shroud, according to Muslim tradition. In the overcrowded Jalozai camp, 80,000 refugees from Afghanistan endured squalid conditions. Decades of political instability and drought drove millions of people over the border into Pakistan. By June, Jalozai could not cope with the numbers, and food and shelter were scarce. Although relief workers tried to provide basic health services, children died from disease or dehydration. Eight months later, the United Nations closed the camp, moving refugees to other areas.
  • 90. Year 2002 Photographer Eric Grigorian Nationality Armenia Organization / Publication Polaris Images Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 23-06-2002 Country Iran Place Qazvin Caption A boy holds his dead father's trousers as he squats beside the spot where his father is to be buried, surrounded by soldiers and villagers digging graves for victims of an earthquake.

  • 92. Year 2003 Photographer Jean-Marc Bouju Nationality France Organization / Publication The Associated Press Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 31-03-2003 Country Iraq Place Caption An Iraqi man comforts his four-year-old son at a holding center for prisoners of war, in the base camp of the US Army 101st Airborne Division near An Najaf. The boy had become terrified when, according to orders, his father was hooded and handcuffed. A soldier later severed the plastic handcuffs so that the man could comfort his child. Hoods were placed over detainees' heads because they were quicker to apply than blindfolds. The military said the bags were used to disorient prisoners and protect their identities. It is not known what happened to the man or the boy.
  • 94. Year 2004 Photographer Arko Datta Nationality India Organization / Publication Reuters Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 28-12-2004 Country India Place Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu Caption A woman mourns a relative killed in the tsunami. On December 26, a 9.3 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, triggered a series of deadly waves that traveled across the Indian Ocean, wreaking havoc in nine Asian countries, and causing fatalities as far away as Somalia and Tanzania. The quake was so strong that it altered the tilt of the planet by 2.5cm. More than 200,000 people died or were reported missing, and millions were left destitute in the worst natural disaster in living memory. In India, the fishing communities in Tamil Nadu were among the worst hit, with homes, lives and livelihoods being wiped away.
  • 96. Year 2005 Photographer Finbarr O'Reilly Nationality Canada Organization / Publication Reuters Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 01-08-2005 Country Niger Place Tahoua Caption The fingers of malnourished Alassa Galisou (1) are pressed against the lips of his mother Fatou Ousseini at an emergency feeding center. One of the worst droughts in recent times, together with a particularly heavy plague of locusts that had destroyed the previous year's harvest, left millions of people severely short of food. Heavy rains promised well for the 2005 crops, but hindered aid workers bringing supplies. Relief had been slow to come. Accusations were leveled variously blaming the United Nations, Western governments, the international aid community and officials in Niger itself for failing to respond early enough to an imminent crisis.
  • 98. Year 2006 Photographer Spencer Platt Nationality USA Organization / Publication Getty Images Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 15-08-2006 Country Lebanon Place Beirut Caption Young Lebanese drive down a street in Haret Hreik, a bombed neighborhood in southern Beirut. For nearly five weeks Israel had been targeting that part of the city and towns across southern Lebanon in a campaign against Hezbollah militants. As a ceasefire gradually came into force from August 14, thousands of Lebanese began to return to their homes. According to the Lebanese government, 15,000 homes and 900 commercial concerns were damaged.
  • 100. Year 2007 Photographer Tim Hetherington Nationality United Kingdom Organization / Publication Vanity Fair Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 16-09-2007 Country Afghanistan Place Korengal Valley Caption A soldier of Second Platoon, Battle Company of the Second Battalion of the US 503rd Infantry Regiment sinks onto an embankment in the Restrepo bunker at the end of the day. The Korengal Valley was the epicenter of the US fight against militant Islam in Afghanistan and the scene of some of the deadliest combat in the region.
  • 102. Year 2008 Photographer Anthony Suau Nationality USA Organization / Publication for Time Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 26-03-2008 Country USA Place Cleveland, Ohio Caption Detective Robert Kole of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office enters a home, following mortgage foreclosure and eviction. He needs to check that the owners have vacated the premises, and that no weapons have been left lying around. Officers go in at gunpoint as a precaution, as many houses have been vandalized or occupied by squatters or drug addicts. Towards the end of 2007, the severity of losses to US banks incurred over sub-prime mortgages was beginning to emerge. In the first months of 2008, rising interest rates together with increasing unemployment and a slowdown in the housing market, meant that many borrowers could no longer afford payments on their homes. Banks involved heavily in such debts were threatened with collapse. In the following months the financial crisis spread worldwide.
  • 104. Year 2009 Photographer Pietro Masturzo Nationality Italy Organization / Publication Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 24-06-2009 Country Iran Place Tehran Caption Women shout their dissent from a Tehran rooftop on 24 June, following Iran's disputed presidential election. The result had been a victory for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, but there were allegations of vote-rigging. In the ensuing weeks, violent demonstrations took place in the streets. At night, people shouted from the roofs, an echo of protests that took place during the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
  • 106. Year 2010 Photographer Jodi Bieber Nationality South Africa Organization / Publication Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 15-07- 2010 Country Afghanistan Place Kabul Caption Bibi Aisha, 18, was disfigured as retribution for fleeing her husband’s house in Oruzgan province, in the center of Afghanistan. At the age of 12, Aisha and her younger sister had been given to the family of a Taliban fighter under a Pashtun tribal custom for settling disputes. When she reached puberty she was married to him, but she later returned to her parents’ home, complaining of violent treatment by her in-laws. Men arrived there one night demanding that she be handed over to be punished for running away. Aisha was taken to a mountain clearing, where, at the orders of a Taliban commander, she was held down and had first her ears sliced off, then her nose. In local culture, a man who has been shamed by his wife is said to have lost his nose, and this is seen as punishment in return. Aisha was abandoned, but later rescued and taken to a shelter in Kabul run by the aid organization Women for Afghan Women, where she was given treatment and psychological help. After time in the refuge, she was taken to America to receive further counseling and reconstructive surgery.
  • 108. Year 2011 Photographer Samuel Aranda Nationality Spain Organization / Publication Category World Press Photo of the Year Prize World Press Photo of the Year Date 15-10-2011 Country Yemen Place Sanaa Caption Fatima al-Qaws cradles her son Zayed (18), who is suffering from the effects of tear gas after participating in a street demonstration, in Sanaa, Yemen, on 15 October. Ongoing protests against the 33-year-long regime of authoritarian President Ali Abdullah Saleh escalated that day. Witnesses said that thousands marched down Zubairy Street, a main city thoroughfare, and were fired on when they reached a government checkpoint near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some demonstrators retreated, others carried on and were shot at again. At least 12 people were killed and some 30 injured. Ms Qaws—who was herself involved in resistance to the regime—found her son after a second visit to look for him, among the wounded at a mosque that was being used as a temporary field hospital. Zayed remained in a coma for two days after the incident. He was injured on two further occasions, as demonstrations continued. On 23 November, President Saleh flew to Saudi Arabia, and signed an agreement transferring power to his deputy, Abdurabu Mansur Hadi. Saleh’s rule ended formally when Hadi was sworn in as president, following an election, on 25 February 2012.
