Year2003 PhotographerAtta Kenare NationalityIran Organization / PublicationAgence France-Presse CategorySpot News Prize2nd prize Date27-12-2003 CountryIran PlaceBam CaptionA father carries his two sons to be buried after the earthquake that leveled the ancient city of Bam in the early hours of December 26. The initial tremor lasted just 20 seconds, yet killed over 25,000 people, in some cases wiping out entire families. The heavy death toll was attributed to the fact that traditional mud-brick houses collapsed quickly, as people were sleeping. The dust created by the falling houses meant that there was little chance of air-pockets forming under the rubble, which might also have saved lives.

One of the worst droughts in recent times together with a particularly heavy plague of locusts had destroyed the previous year's harvest, leaving millions of people severely short of food. Heavy rains promised well for the 2005 crops, but hindered aid workers bringing supplies. Relief had been slow to come. Accusations were leveled variously blaming the United Nations, Western governments, the international aid community and officials in Niger itself for failing to respond early enough to an imminent crisis.
