It was a week of drama and desperation, like most weeks, as reflected in the images we saw in print and online this week. We start the photo review with a harrowing escape from an earthquake in India, then travel through street battles in the West Bank and Yemen. We witness an explosive scene in Afghanistan, a tragedy in Pakistan, the end of a centuries-old tradition in Spain, and a wave of outrage in the United States, where a man was executed by the state of Georgia. But of course there were the gentler moments—an Indigenous Queen contest in Guatemala, a loving reunion in Oman, a pink pig flying over London, and the glitter of celebrity glamour.
