The annual Bayeux Awards for war correspondents were announced at an emotional ceremony in Normandy on Saturday evening. The Palestinian photojournalist Saher Alghorra won first prize for photography, while journalists from RFI and France 24 received accolades for their work on Syria. Reports on Ukraine and Sudan were also among the prizes.

Alghorra (Zuma Press), who is still in Gaza, was recognised for his series "Trapped in Gaza: Between Fire and Famine". Last year, he won Bayeux's young reporter award.
