English: This creepy photo was taken by Kevin Carter in 1993 in the Sudanese city of Ayod. The child's parents ran to the plane that arrived with humanitarian aid for food, and the exhausted girl slowly crawled after them, stopping every now and then to rest. Vulture was watching the girl closely. These birds do not attack their prey, but prefer to wait until everything happens by itself. In addition, there was a photographer nearby, so the scavenger could only wait.
The picture brought Kevin Carter fame, a Pulitzer Prize and a flurry of accusations of inhumanity. Just three months after the award was presented, the photojournalist committed suicide.
