"War and Humanity: World Press Photo 2023 Winners Captivate with Powerful Images"

Associated Press photographer Evgeniy Maloletka won the World Press Photo of the Year award for his image of emergency workers carrying a pregnant woman through the shattered grounds of a maternity hospital in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol in the chaotic aftermath of a Russian attack. The image drove home the horror of Russia's brutal onslaught in the eastern port city early in the war. The 32-year-old woman, Iryna Kalinina, died of her injuries a half-hour after giving birth to the lifeless body of her baby, named Miron.
