The UN has been calling attention since 2017 to the gravity of the current humanitarian crisis, considered the most serious and most complex since its creation in 1945. Journalism and, therefore, photojournalism, has a fundamental role in removing humanitarian crises from opacity. . As important as reporting on humanitarian crises and the resulting human rights violations is the modus operandi by which photojournalism is carried out. Constant exposure to images with strong imagery appeal, that is, that operate from the aesthetics of horror and the aestheticization of misery, can provoke the fatigue of compassion, as Susan Moeller points out. Given this, photojournalism needs to find a different way of acting from traditional paradigms. This is the point justified for this research. It is urgent to find a path of photojournalistic action that is capable of removing humanitarian crises from opacity, forming a clear opinion and, at the same time, preserving the dignity of the human person. One possible route is considered to be humanitarian photojournalism, as it is both an area of specialization and a practice in itself. From a methodological point of view, the present study uses documentary analysis, bibliographic research and semiotic analysis. In the field of photojournalism, authors like Jorge Pedro Sousa, André Rouillé, Boris Kossoy are used. In sociology, Ulrick Beck, Anthony Giddens, Zigmunt Bauman are consulted. In the field of semiotics, Charles Sanders Peirce and Lúcia Santaella are sought. Finally, in the light of humanitarian photojournalism, a semiotic analysis of Folha de S. Paulo's special series ‘A world of walls - barriers that divide us’ is carried out.
