ZUMA’s Javier Alvarez has been recognized in the Photojournalists in the World section by POY Latam for his documentary project covering refugee rescues in the Mediterranean sea. Alvarez covered the Ocean Viking, a humanitarian vessel operated by SOS Méditerranée, as they rescued people of all ages, including families with small children, who were fleeing violence, captivity, and forced labor in Libya with hopes of safety and stability in Italy.
