The photograph titled “Children’s ward in the Korem refugee camp” was taken by Sebastiao Salgado in Ethiopia in the year 1984. The photograph is a powerful black and white image that captures a moment in the children’s ward of the Korem refugee camp. It depicts a woman with a headscarf looking off into the distance with a somber expression. She holds a child close to her, with the child’s face gently resting against her body. The lighting in the photograph highlights their faces and the textures of their clothing, creating a compelling and emotional scene that speaks to the hardship and strength of those affected by the crisis in the refugee camp.
