Spanish photographer Samuel Aranda won the World Press Photo of the Year, with an image of a woman holding a wounded relative in her arms.

The image was captured on 15 October 2011, inside a mosque in Sanaa, Yemen, that was used as a field hospital by demonstrators against the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Aranda used a Nikon D700, with the shutter speed of 0.4 seconds, an ISO of 400, F-stop of f/2.0, and focal length of 35mm.

Aranda's photograph was selected out of 101,254 photos submitted, from a total of 5,247 photographers in 124 countries.
