Palestinian Saher Alghorra Wins Pullitzer

Palestinian photographer Saher Alghorra has secured the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography for his poignant documentation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Alghorra, a contributor to the New York Times, won for a series that Pulitzer Administrator Marjorie Miller described as “haunting” and “sensitive.”

The images illustrated the starvation and destruction resulting from Israel’s genocide in Gaza since October 2023.

Miller underscored the importance of independent journalism amid escalating obstacles.

In addition to the Pulitzer, Alghorra won the first prize for war photography at the 32nd Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie in France last October.

His award-winning report, “Trapped in Gaza: Between Fire and Famine”, highlighted the reality of life under siege and the plight of civilians caught between bombardment and starvation. TRTWorld
