The 2021 award for Best Written Journalism from a Conflict Zone was given to Anuj Chopra from the US for an on-the-ground report revealing the humanitarian crisis in the Yemeni region of Marib. The prize for Best Humanitarian Journalism: After the War went to Yemeni journalist Rania Abdallah for the documentary "Life, Terminated" covering the armed conflict in southwestern Yemen, and to American Neha Wadekar with the investigative article "The Hidden Story Behind the Fight for Cabo Delgado," exposing the true causes of the upsurge of radical Islamism in Mozambique.The award was established in 2018 in memory of Khaled Alkhateb, who was working for RT Arabic as a freelance correspondent and was killed on duty in Daesh* shelling of Homs, Syria, on July 30, 2017.*Daesh, also known as ISIS/Islamic State/IS, is a terrorist group banned in Russia and many other countries.
