AP PHOTOS: Indelible images of 2023, coming at us with the dizzying speed of a world in convulsion
Two moments, at opposite ends of the human experience.
In the first, on July 20, a woman squats in the thick mud in Raigad, India, as she peers out from a plastic tarp that covers her body. Her face is frozen in anguish and uncertainty as she faces the most dire of circumstances — the realization that her family is trapped under rubble after a landslide.
The second scene could not be more different. It is from March 2, on the beach in — a starkly different Gaza City than the one its residents are experiencing today. In this image, a group sit in chairs under an umbrella enjoying a day at the beach. In the background, a man rides by on a horse; both are airborne, their image reflected in water on the sand.
