BAYEUX, France, Oct 12, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The Palestinian photojournalist Saher Alghorra, from Zuma Press, on Saturday won first prize for photography at the prestigious Bayeux War Correspondents' Awards.

Wolfgang Bauer (Zeit Magazin) won the top prize for print journalism, Maurine Mercier (RTS-RTBF) for radio, while Julie Dungelhoeff, James Andre and Sofia Amara (France 24) won for television.

The conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan dominated the awards, which are now in their 32nd edition.

Alghorra, who is still in Gaza, was recognised for his series "Trapped in Gaza: Between Fire and Famine". Last year, he won the young reporter award.

His work focused on the plight of civilians trapped in the Palestinian territory by the Israeli military campaign.

Germany's Bauer won first prize for "The Forgotten", about the only hospital still able to perform surgery in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.

Mercier, a Swiss-Canadian journalist who won in 2022 and 2023, won for her report "Pokrovsk: Two Flowers in the Ruins", about the sexual lives of women in eastern Ukraine.

The France 24 team's report, "Survivors of Hell in Assad's Jails", focused on the prisons liberated by the Syrian regime.
