Palestine won the prize for the saddest photo in the BBC "Sadness and Joy" photography contest.
The photo captured by the Palestinian TV producer Abdul-Rahman Al-Humran, shows three young girls weeping in sorrow for their brother, who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the city of Rafah in Gaza, won the first place in the competition.
The winning photo was published in six different languages on the BBC websites.
Al-Humran told Arbas48 news website that he captured the photo on October 10, 2003, during the Israeli invasion of Rafah.
Al-Humran added that he decided to compete for the saddest photo as he believed that under the current circumstances, Palestine can't win the prize for joy.
