Unfortunately, it is the confronting images that make the general population sit up and take notice, and do something. It is the role of the photo journalist to document and be evocative ; to raise awareness. That is their job. No photographer worth their salt would ignore an opportunity to take such a symbolic and profound shot that presented itself. The photographer was condemned - still is - because he did not, could not, remove that poor little girl from where she was. That was what happened at the time. and. what is shameful. is that children are still facing starvation some twenty years later.
