Across the Island
A mother and son carry a solar panel across India's Ghoramara Island, preparing to install it at their home. The remote island in the Sundarbans—an enormous mangrove forest that protects the India-Bangladesh coast—lacks a conventional electricity grid. After Super Cyclone Yaas hit the region in 2021, flooding and high tides cut off power to the island. Since then, solar panels have become common in order for families to keep phones charged and lights on during emergencies. This image is from the 2026 Giga Photo Award competition, a joint initiative by UNICEF and ITU working toward universal school connectivity by 2030. The 2026 edition, Urgency for Connectivity, invited photographers to show how digital connection endures through conflict, climate disasters, health emergencies, political instability, and displacement.Animals
