This photo by Spencer Platt won the World Press Photo of the Year award.
Taken in a neighborhood in South Beirut, it is an interesting juxtaposition of the comforts of normal life with the havoc of war. Notice the girl capturing the scene on her camera phone.
Other images from the contest are available here.
I wasn't sure about whether I could put the image on Mere O, but the Washington Post story had it and the following disclaimer, which includes (I think) Mere O's use:
