.AP photographer Evgeniy Maloletka won the World Press Photo of the Year award for his harrowing image of a wounded pregnant woman being carried through the shattered grounds of a maternity hospital in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. She later died.
FILE- Iryna Kalinina, 32, an injured pregnant woman, is carried from a maternity hospital that was damaged during a Russian airstrike in Mariupol, Ukraine, on 9 March 2022. Associated Press photographer Evgeniy Maloletka won the World Press Photo of the Year award on Thursday, April 20, 2023, for this harrowing image of emergency workers carrying a pregnant woman through the shattered grounds of a maternity hospital in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol in the chaotic aftermath of a Russian attack.
The Ukrainian photographer’s March 9, 2022, image of the fatally wounded woman, her left hand on her bloodied lower left abdomen, drove home the horror of Russia’s brutal onslaught in the eastern port city early in the war. “For me, it is a moment that all the time I want to forget, but I cannot. The story will always stay with me,” Maloletka said in an interview ahead of the announcement.
