Famine of 1993

This photo is shocking. It shows the truth of suffering children in the Sudan during the famine of 1993. Snapshot, which shows little exhausted girl struggling crawling toward the camp of humanitarian aid, was made by photographer Kevin Carter. For this photograph Carter won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, but it cost him a lot. Photographer had to wait specially hungry vulture who walked around in anticipation of the baby's death, only for the frame to be the most epic. After 20 minutes, Carter still made photos and drove away from the baby bird. After receiving the award for this picture and the waves of criticism Kevin Carter committed suicide. It happened in 1994.
