Speechless... More power to the father-son duo..
What a powerful click
Turkish photographer Mehmet Aslan was declared the overall winner with an ‘emotionally strong’ image of a father who had lost a leg in a bomb blast holding his son, who was born without lower or upper limbs due to a congenital disorder.
The photo was selected from tens of thousands of images submitted by photographers from 163 countries.
Mehmet explained: 'This little boy’s father, Munzir, lost his right leg when a bomb was dropped as he walked through a bazaar in Idlib, Syria. His son Mustafa was born without lower or upper limbs due to tetra-amelia, a congenital disorder caused by the medications his mother Zeynep had to take after being sickened by nerve gas released during the war in Syria. Mustafa will need special electronic prostheses in the future which, unfortunately, are not yet available in Turkey'
Well.. pictures tell more than a ten thousand words....
