Sudan Famine UN food camp [1994]

first at all i want to say than I just think this is a horrible photo. Although not so much the photo itself, more the fact that this happens in the world and the majority of us ‘just can’t be bothered to do anything’. This really is an impacting image. The fact that vulture is waiting for the child to die is just sad.

The photo is the “Pulitzer Prize” winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan Famine.
The picture depicts stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat him. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who
left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.

Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.
