Fear and survival

Fear and survival are closely connected in a warzone. These images show people running through the streets and hiding from snipers.

Each photograph captures a moment where life and death are decided in a just a second—where instinct takes over and survival becomes the only goal. The young woman running during a mortar attack and the girls taking cover from sniper fire show this deep sense of desperation. The fear in these photos is something everyone can understand.
