The United Nations has called the global refugee crisis the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. According to the UN, 65 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution. Sixty. Five. Million. People.

Numbers that gigantic can be very hard for most people to visualize or understand. Husband and wife photo team Daniel Farber Huang and Theresa Menders remind us those numbers are human lives – men, women, and children – and not just statistics.

Sorry she did it or sorry she got caught?

Petra Laszlo, the Hungarian camerawoman who was filmed tripping and kicking migrants, apologized for her actions.

“I’m not heartless, racist children-kicking camerawoman”, she said, stating that she was driven by fear, adding that she does not deserve the “political witch hunt” against her.

Laszlo’s violent behavior made headlines worldwide and made her a symbol of the xenophobic response to Europe’s migrant crisis. Following the widespread condemnation of her actions she was fired from her job and an official police investigation has been launched.

The refugees crisis in Europe is a leading story over the last few days, and this deep coverage would not have been possible without the diligent and dedicated work of journalists and photojournalists.

Usually photographers take it upon them to document the event so both the world can be informed of the stories and generations to come can look back at the records and learn from. This sometimes means that photographing events means not getting involved.

Hungarian camerawoman however broke this protocol, not by aiding a refugee but by tripping and kicking some of the persons running by her.
