One picture says it all...!

The Pulitzer Prize winner, the tragedy of Sudan famine and Carter's Suicide!

The photo above is a 'Pulitzer Prize' winning photo taken in 1993 during the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards the United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it.

Carter's winning photo shows a heart-breaking scene and the picture shocked the entire world. The photographer took the picture and left the place immediately. No one knows what happened to the child. Carter was part of a group of four fearless photojournalists known as the "Bang Bang Club" who traveled throughout South Africa capturing the atrocities committed during apartheid.

The photograph was sold to The New York Times where it appeared for the first time on March 26, 1993. Practically overnight hundreds of people contacted newspaper to ask whether the child had survived, leading the newspaper to run a special editor's note saying the girl had enough strength to walk away from the vulture, but that her ultimate fate was unknown. On April 2, Nancy Buirski, a foreign New York Times picture editor, phoned Carter to infrom him he had won the most coveted prize for photography. Carter was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography on May 23, 1994 at Columbia University's Low Memorial Library. Haunted by the horrific images from Sudan, Carter committed suicide soon after receiving the award.
