Kevin Carter, a South African photojournalist, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for his photograph of the vulture and the little girl. Unfortunately, he committed suicide three months later. He felt guilty about not helping this Sudanese girl in getting to a feeding center.
This portrait first appeared in The New York Times in 1993 and features a weak famine-stricken girl. She was unconscious in the foreground, with a hungry vulture watching her from close by. The child was trying to reach a United Nations feeding center in Ayod, which is just under a mile away. The film won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 1994. Carter committed suicide four months after winning the prize.
