It is always a surprise to learn when a photographer, known for their work in conflict regions, lies in a critical condition not caused by an external injury.
As noted in the PDN story, updates on Alex's condition will be posted on the VII site. There will also be info posted with details as to how to financially support Alex during her illness and hopefully, through to a full recovery.
