EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ali Hashisho, we witness the heartbreaking reality of a stray dog standing on a rubbish dump at the seafront in Sidon, southern Lebanon. The image portrays the dire environmental situation faced by this beautiful country. Lebanon's third biggest city is marred by an overwhelming waste disposal issue, as depicted in the photograph. The dumpsite, located perilously close to schools, hospitals, and apartment blocks, has repeatedly collapsed into the Mediterranean Sea. This haunting scene serves as a powerful reminder of how human negligence can impact innocent lives. The lone canine stands amidst piles of waste that stretch out towards the horizon. With no humans in sight and only blue skies above it, this resilient creature symbolizes both hope and despair simultaneously. Its presence highlights not just an animal struggling for survival but also draws attention to broader environmental concerns plaguing our planet. This thought-provoking image compels us to reflect upon our responsibility towards nature and wildlife conservation. It urges us to take immediate action against pollution and improper waste management practices that threaten ecosystems worldwide. Ali Hashisho's photograph masterfully captures a moment frozen in time – one that demands attention from viewers around the globe. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot of life amid chaos, may it inspire us all to work together towards creating a cleaner and more sustainable future for every living being on Earth.
