EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of an air strike on an army weapons depot in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. Taken by photographer Khaled Abdullah on April 20,2015, the image shows thick smoke billowing into the sky from a mountain overlooking the city. The intense flames and dark plumes of smoke create a scene of destruction and chaos. The damaged exterior of the building is evident as it stands against a backdrop of ominous clouds. The creative use of lighting highlights the severity of this military attack, emphasizing its destructive impact on both architecture and human lives. With no people present in the frame, one can only imagine the fear and danger that must have engulfed this area during such an air raid. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of Yemen's ongoing armed conflict and its devastating consequences for civilians caught in the crossfire. It symbolizes not only physical destruction but also represents a larger crisis faced by Yemen since its uprising in 2011. Khaled Abdullah's skillful capture freezes this moment in time, allowing viewers to witness firsthand the adversity faced by those affected by war. It is through images like these that we are reminded of our collective responsibility to seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts worldwide.
