New York: Four Palestinian photographers from Agence France-Presse (AFP) were finalists for their Gaza coverage in the "Breaking News Photography" category of the Pulitzer Prize, the most prestigious awards in US journalism.
The jury for the award, presented on Monday by Columbia University in New York, praised the "powerful images" from Gaza by Mahmud Hams, Omar Al-Qattaa, Said Khatib and Bashar Taleb.
The AFP photographers' work encapsulated "the enduring humanity of the people of Gaza amid widespread destruction and loss," they said.
The Pulitzer nomination crowns an exceptional year for Hams, who also won the News award at the Visa pour l'Image festival in Perpignan and the Bayeux Calvados Prize for war correspondents -- two of the most prestigious international awards in photojournalism.
AFP's local journalists are working in perilous conditions in Gaza to document the consequences of the war on civilians.
