"World Press Photo Awarded to AP Image of Mariupol Hospital Attack"
Associated Press photographer Evgeniy Maloletka won the World Press Photo of the Year award for his image of emergency workers carrying a fatally wounded pregnant woman through the shattered grounds of a maternity hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine, after a Russian attack. The image highlights the horror of Russia's brutal onslaught in the eastern port city early in the war. Maloletka, along with two other AP journalists, chronicled the Russian military pounding the city and hitting hospitals and other civilian infrastructure. The four global winners were selected from more than 60,000 entries submitted by 3,752 entrants from 127 countries.
