Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #966 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY December 3, 2024: ‘Youthful DREAMS DEFERRED’ by ZUMA Press award winning photographer in Ukraine Svet Jacqueline: ‘Every war is a war against children’ said Eglantyne Jebb, founder of the ‘Save the Children’ organization, 100 years ago just at the end of World War One. Today an average of at least 16 children are killed or injured in Ukraine every week, stated UNICEF. As the war enters its third year, Ukrainian youth continue to bear the greatest burden. Over 659 children have lost their lives and hundreds more have been forcibly relocated to occupied territories to suppress their heritage and Ukrainian identities. These images showcase what has become their reality and encapsulate the complex stories of survival and long-lost childhoods Russia continues to destroy. Welcome to ‘Youthful DREAMS DEFERRED’

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #965 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY November 26, 2024: ‘Hunter-Killer’ by ZUMA Partner agency dpa photo-journalist Anas Alkharboutli: The White Helmets, a Syrian-led humanitarian group supporting communities in areas affected by the war in Syria, are documenting a new pattern of attacks using suicide drones in northwest of the country. Since early 2024, there have been 41 attacks using suicide drones, all originate from areas controlled by Syrian regime forces. Many of the attacks targeted civilians, with three killed and 18 injured, including a woman and four children. The impact of the violence is not limited to direct loss of life but also threatens the security livelihoods of thousands of families. The resilience of communities in northwest Syria has already been devastated by thirteen years of war and the 2023 earthquakes. New threats, like suicide drones, compound the psychological trauma and the suffering of the Syrian people. Welcome to ‘Hunter-Killer’
