A picture of two Palestinian children killed in an Israeli airstrike has won the 2012 World Press Photo award. The photo was taken by the Swedish photographer Paul Hansen, working for the Dagens Nyheter newspaper.
Taken in Gaza on November 20, 2012, the photo shows a group of men marching the dead bodies of a brother and sister, wrapped in white cloth, through the city. The piece portrays what's become a common scene on the ground under Israeli occupation of Palestine. With this award, Palestinian plight is being seen by more and more people worldwide resulting in increasing support in favor of Palestine and worldwide condemnation of Israel and its brutal oppression of Palestinians.
