Yolanda Image in Time's Top 10 Photos of 2013

The image showing survivors of ST Yolanda  in Tolosa, Leyte while survivors are marching during a religious procession has been selected by TIME magazine’s website as one of the Top 10 photos of 2013 which was published Monday, December 2.

Captured by Philippe Lopez for Agence France-Presse and Getty Images on November 18, the photo is visually strong and depicts a lot of emotions from the residents devastated by Yolanda.

“It’s very stormy at this time of year in the Philippines. Clouds gathered in front of the setting sun while along the road residents lit fires to burn the debris left by the typhoon. Momentarily, the devastated landscape took on a strange beauty, and it was just then that this group of women and children appeared on the road. I think people gravitate towards this picture not only because it is visually strong and emotional, but also because, in a way, it draws on some viewers’ own faith,” The photo caption reads as published on TIME’s website.

Images taken from Bangladesh, Australia, Turkey, South Africa, Texas, Egypt and Syria were also there including photos taken during the terror bombing at the Boston Marathon and at the Westgate Mall Massacre in Nairobi, Kenya. See the rest of the Top 10 below.
