Eagle Waiting for Child to Die | Kevin Carter Pulitzer Prize Photograph

Eagle Waiting for Child to Die | Kevin Carter Pulitzer Prize Photograph

eagle waiting to eat child

This photo was taken by Kevin Carter in 1994 during the Sudan Famine and it got "Pulitzer Award".

The picture represents a famine stricken child crawling towards a United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away. 

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat. This picture shocked the whole world. 

No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken. 

Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.
