  • The story behind the image:

    Journey by nightfall, the safest way to gather essential firewood without capture leading to rape, torture and death at the hands of the bloodthrsty military who already has murdered their husbands, brothers and sons.

    "To witness genocide is to feel not only the chill of your own mortality, but the degradation of all humanity. Even the most brilliant photography cannot capture the landscape of genocide."
    Fergal Keane, BBC
