This week's collection of twenty photographs captures a diverse range of events from around the world, highlighting moments of joy, conflict, and resilience.
London, England
Arsenal supporters celebrated jubilantly outside the Emirates Stadium after the Gunners clinched the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years. The atmosphere was electric as fans gathered to mark the historic achievement.
Earlier in the week, protesters assembled for a 'unite the kingdom' rally organized by British anti-immigration activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon in London. However, the rally attracted fewer participants than anticipated, with police estimating the crowd was less than half the size of a similar event last year.
Arlington, Virginia, US
At Arlington National Cemetery, 1st Sgt Kosovare Fain carried her daughter, Reagan Fain, while participating with fellow soldiers from the US Army 3rd Infantry Regiment in the annual Flags-In event, a solemn tradition honoring fallen service members.
Rwampara, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo escalated, with the World Health Organization raising the threat assessment to 'very high'. Medical staff were seen preparing to escort a body from the hospital to the cemetery, as the disease spread rapidly.
In Prague, a US doctor who had been in contact with Ebola-infected individuals in Uganda arrived at a hospital for monitoring. Meanwhile, WHO leaders reported nearly 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths, a sharp increase from the previous week.
Khan Younis, Gaza
Amid the ongoing war, a wedding dress displayed outside a shop in Khan Younis highlighted the plight of brides turning to reused gowns due to soaring prices and shortages. More than seven months after a ceasefire deal brokered by Donald Trump, Gaza remains in a grim state with no reconstruction underway.
Tehran, Iran
A woman posed for photographs during a mass wedding ceremony for 'self-sacrificing' couples organized by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The term refers to individuals prepared to defend the Islamic Republic militarily.
Gaza
Technicians worked on a 3D-printed transparent face mask to treat burns of a Palestinian child affected by the war at a clinic run by Médecins Sans Frontières in Gaza City. In a separate scene, mourners carried the bodies of Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the slain chief of the Qassam Brigades, his wife, and daughter, killed in an Israeli strike.
West Bank
A Bedouin child rode a donkey in the village of Khan al-Ahmar, where Israel's far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, ordered evacuation as part of measures against the Palestinian Authority.
Athens, Greece
Protesters hung a huge Palestinian flag on a building facing the Israeli embassy during a demonstration over the interception of the Gaza aid flotilla. Activists released from Israeli custody alleged abuse, with several hospitalized and at least 15 reporting sexual assaults.
Simi Valley, California, US
Fire crews conducted operations to control the Sandy fire in Simi Valley, where more than 17,000 people were under evacuation orders as the wildfire threatened suburban homes. A firefighter surveyed a charred hillside in the aftermath.
Achica Arriba, Bolivia
Protesters clashed with police during an operation to clear a roadblock. In response, Bolivia's centre-right president, Rodrigo Paz Pereira, announced a cabinet reshuffle and vowed not to 'dialogue with vandals', while establishing a council for Indigenous groups and workers.
Nairobi, Kenya
A protester chanted anti-government slogans on a road blocked with stones during a nationwide transport strike over rising fuel prices. Kenya, heavily dependent on fuel imports from the Gulf, has been severely impacted by Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Nantes, France
Nantes football supporters holding flares attempted to invade the pitch during a match against Toulouse, which was abandoned after 22 minutes. The club's owners stayed away due to safety fears, which proved justified as ultras threw flares and stormed the pitch.
