SWEDISH photographer Paul Hansen has won the 2012 World Press Photo award for a picture of two Palestinian children killed in an Israeli missile strike being carried to their funeral.
The picture, published in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter, shows a group of men marching the dead bodies through a narrow street in Gaza City.
The victims, a brother and sister, are wrapped in white cloth with only their faces showing.
"The strength of the pictures lies in the way it contrasts the anger and sorrow of the adults with the innocence of the children," said jury member Mayu Mohanna of Peru. "It's a picture I will not forget."
World Press Photo, one of photojournalism's most prestigious contests, issued awards in nine categories to 54 photographers of 32 nationalities.
Hansen's November 20 shot won top prize in both the spot news single photograph category and the overall competition.
The contest drew entries from professional press photographers, photojournalists and documentary photographers across the world. In all, 103,481 images were submitted by 5666 photographers from 124 countries.
Hansen will receive a 10,000 euro ($A12,998.83) prize.
