Not anyone can or like to work in conflict areas. You feel awful to see what people do to other people. If someone is in trouble, you'll try to help, but mostly you cannot do a lot, like in Pakistan with refugees. It's impossible to help millions of refugees, we are photographers and not Aid agencies. You never get used to see injured children.
In Gaza I took a picture of a 9-year-old boy who was shot through the head. I felt helpless taking pictures of him during his hours-long operation. People asked me if the boy survived, and I had to answer "no" and again I felt tears coming up in my eyes.
I never get used to these cruelties and hopefully nobody else does. People have to start living with each other instead of fighting. Fighting for religion and small pieces of land is something I don't understand. Why aren't they contented with competing with each other, like in sports?
