“The past year has brought tragedy after tragedy, with unfathomable human casualties: the war in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas; devastating earthquakes in Afghanistan, Morocco, Syria and Turkey; and here in the United States, a rapid and devastating forest fire on the island of Maui and a record number of mass executions across the country. Again and again, we see familiar scenes of pain and suffering: parents mourning children, children mourning their parents — and even worse, children mourning children,” adds Bernadette Tuazon, director of photography for CNN Digital.
