The Siena Awards Photo Festival has announced its overall winner, awarding its top prize to Palestinian photojournalist Ali Jadallah.<\/p>\n
His photo, called Leaving Home, shows three people emerging from the rubble of their home, which was badly damaged in an attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took it on June 14, 2024 in Deir al-Balah, in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
“The image returns with extreme visual force the violence of destruction and, at the same time, the stubborn presence of human dignity,” a Siena Awards statement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The winner was announced at the Teatro dei Rinnovati in the Italian city of Siena over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Jadallah’s photo wasn’t the only winner, with judges awarding prizes to the top photographers across a range of categories.<\/p>\n
