A picture of an Israeli woman, Shani Louk, was in the headlines in 2023 when Hamas unexpectedly attacked Israel. Her near-naked body was paraded through the streets. Now, the same picture has won a photojournalism award.
According to a New York Post report, the photo has won first place in the “Team Picture Story of the Year” category. However, this piece of information has been drawing massive flak online.
Several internet users pointed out that this was disrespectful to Louk and her family. While others said that they were disgusted that the picture of the murdered woman was awarded.
