Pictures of the decade: Part three
and
From Haiti's devastating earthquake to war in Syria, Reuters photographers have covered the biggest news stories of the decade, capturing images of armed conflict, natural disasters, the plight of migrants and the drama of sport.
Below is a selection of some of the best Reuters pictures taken between 2010 and 2019, accompanied by the photographers' comments.
"Photographs really helped highlight the plight (of Rohingya refugees)," said Danish Siddiqui, whose image was part of a package which won Reuters the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Feature Photography.
"As a photojournalist you need to capture everything in one frame ... In that picture you can see the plume of smoke, the boat, the refugees ... All the elements were there to tell the story."

"It was very hectic at the time and it was only afterwards on my laptop I saw ... the girls were in diapers," Kim said.
"The mother was wearing a T-shirt with characters from Disney's 'Frozen' film. That was one of my daughter's favourite films when she was younger."
