- 2nd Place
- Hopelessness in Balakot
Earthquake victims and their families make their way to Balakot, Pakistan, in hopes of a helicopter ride to a hospital and safety.
- Judge's Comments (Deanne)
This entry rose to the top in a strong category. The photographer shot this story with great compassion. These images in Pakistan, shot in a difficult situation are very powerful. These storytelling images capture the emotion of the people, a sense of the land and the horror of having your world ripped from under you. The photographer makes us care about these people and their fate.
