The grief-stricken mother of Hamas victim Shani Louk has revealed how an award given for a photo of her daughter's half-naked and mutilated body forced her family to relive the trauma of her murder.
The 22-year-old German-Israeli was one of 364 people killed at the SuperNova Festival, which she was attending with her boyfriend, in the October 7 attacks.
The picture shows four Hamas militants celebrating as they brandish a rocket launcher and guns while sitting on top of Shani Louk's body, which is lying face down in the back of a pickup truck.
That photo, which was taken by freelance photographer Ali Mahmud, was the centerpiece of the submission that won photo agency AP the Team Picture Story of the Year category from the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism.
Now Shani's mother, Ricarda, has revealed the award has forced her family to relive the trauma of her daughter's murder.
