A Guardian long read has been awarded a prize at the One World Media awards 2019. The awards recognise the best global media coverage of developing countries.
Sarah Helm’s long read A suicide in Gaza won in the print award category. Her piece tells the story of Mohanned Younis, a talented 22-year-old Palestinian writer, whose death brought to light a sharp rise in suicides.
Judges commented:
“A suicide in Gaza, is a very powerful piece of journalism that uncovers hidden layers of the human tragedy in the Gaza Strip.
“The author managed to explore and report on the issue sensitively and fairly. The article is comprehensive, well written and structured and, most importantly, compassionate.”
The full list of winners can be found on the One World Media awards site.
