EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo captured by Bassam Khabieh, smoke billows up from the besieged Eastern Ghouta in Damascus, Syria. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the ongoing armed conflict and military unrest that has plagued this urban city for years. Against a backdrop of towering buildings and an ominous sky filled with clouds, the smoke rises like a symbol of resilience amidst danger. The creative use of architecture adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the impact of war on both physical structures and human lives. With no people visible in the frame, it becomes easier to imagine the desolation and destruction that surrounds this scene. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - February 27th, 2018 - when tensions were high and danger loomed over Eastern Ghouta. It is a stark reminder of how conflicts can ravage cities and leave innocent civilians trapped within blockades. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are confronted with the harsh reality faced by those living through such turmoil. The mountainous landscape further emphasizes their isolation from outside help or intervention. Bassam Khabieh's skillful capture allows us to bear witness to these devastating events while also serving as a call for action against violence and suffering worldwide.
