I was wondering the same thing. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omayra_Sanchez

Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering the same thing.

This may sound horrible, but is there a way to delete from my memory what I just found out about her? The poor little thing.

Simply stunning. Photos, in my opinion, can often be much more dramatic and stunning than moving images. To capture a moment and to bring such emotion with every photograph is an art.

I saw something similiar to that before, but this has more images.

The prize-winning image: A vulture watches a starving child in southern Sudan, March 1, 1993 probably hit me the hardest IMO..

After seeing these heartbreaking pictures, it makes me feel guilty that I am going to Disney I'll have to change it to feeling lucky when I get some of the images out of my head

Wow... just wow.

Images are powerful in so many ways. The pictures with kids: Oamyra, kid and vulture, fire fighter and infant... tear me apart.
