The winning photographs from the most recent World Press Photo exhibition are now on display at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.
As usual, some of the most striking images taken in the last year have been selected for the travelling exhibition – but be forewarned – these are not for the squeamish.
From natural disasters, to political unrest, to human atrocities, photojournalists from around the globe documented what happened over the course of the year and these winning images will stay with you for some time.
American photographer, Sarah Elliott's photos of abortions in Kenya are particularly moving and disturbing. Her photograph of an abortionist holding a knitting needle and a rubber tube is haunting to say the least.
Citizen journalism got a nod with the jurors this time around as photographs of one of the Chilean miners trapped underground for several weeks are included in the show. He is shown training for the New York marathon in the tunnels of the mine.
The exhibition is free and continues until August 28.
