Photo of the Week #185

Alexandros Avramidis

Two young girls on a train, sadly saying goodbye to their mother who is holding up her hand to theirs on the other side of the train window. The youngest is clearly distraught.

Odesa, Ukraine, March 7, 2022
 

Description

Greek photojournalist Alexandros Avramidis photographed these two Ukrainian sisters saying goodbye to their mother as they were evacuated with members of the Jewish community from Odesa in southern Ukraine. We commend the immense personal risks that photojournalists take in order to communicate the excruciating reality within Ukraine and other conflict zones around the world.
