The New Yorker received three Pulitzer Prizes for outstanding work centered on war's repercussions in the Middle East. Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha earned the commentary award for essays illuminating Gazans' hardships during Israeli invasions post-October 7, 2023 attacks. Moises Saman's photography showcased the Assad regime's atrocities in Syria. Additionally, the investigative podcast In the Dark was recognized for its coverage of the 2005 Haditha massacre. This marks a historic achievement, with The New Yorker securing the most prizes won by any magazine in a single year.
"The Pain of Travelling While Palestinian," published in September, recorded the difficulties of leaving Gaza during the conflict and chronicled the suspicion and indignities that he and other Palestinians face outside their homeland.
Abu Toha struggled to take in the obliteration of buildings, neighborhoods, and communities that may never be rebuilt. And in "Requiem for a Refugee Camp," he recalled the Jabalia camp.
