Hansen beat more than 100,000 images submitted by 5,500 photographers from 124 countries to take the title and the top prize of \u20ac10,000 and Canon DSLR kit.<\/p>\n

The winning image depicts a group of men carrying the bodies of two dead children through a street in Gaza City, for a burial ceremony at a nearby mosque. Their father’s body is carried behind on a stretcher.<\/p>\n

Hansen, who works at Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter<\/em>, captured the image on 20 November 2012. <\/p>\n

The winners of each category won \u20ac1,500 and the best image from this year’s contest will go on show in a touring exhibition that kicks off in Amsterdam on 26 April.<\/p>\n

The judging, which took place in Amsterdam over the past two weeks, was led by Santiago Lyon, vice-president and director of photography at The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

World Press Photo was founded in 1955.<\/p>\n
