This photo went around the world and was shared millions of times: a boy, Mustafa, with no legs or arms, laughing happily as his father holds him up. They look into each other’s eyes, the love between father and son radiating from their faces. The man has to use a crutch to support himself, he only has one foot. Then the flight to Europe. The fate of the al-Nazzal family is in flux, but now there is a turning point.
This photo symbolizes the thousands of victims of the devastating war in Syria. The scene was photographed by Turkish photographer Mehmet Aslan, who received an award at the Siena International Photo Award (SIPA). Why this photo prize made you happy twice – and yet couldn’t help it.
