They don’t wear disguises. They don’t hide in the shadows. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)—like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases—are the world’s most prolific silent killers. Each year, they claim over 43 million lives, often undetected until it’s too late.

Through striking images and stories, 'Silent Killers' uncovers the human toll of NCDs and the social, commercial, and environmental forces driving them. The exhibition calls for urgent global action and reminds us that behind every statistic is a life, a family, a future cut short.

We are glad to have worked together with the World Health Organization (WHO) in realising this exhibition, bringing these urgent stories to the forefront.

The exhibition will be on view in the First Basement Corridor, East Wall of the UN Headquarters throughout the high-week of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) between 22-26 September in New York.

Join the conversation and help us break the silence on NCDs. Share your reflections with .

Our Story

We are a global, multilingual collective of highly accomplished journalists, authors, photographers, artists and filmmakers documenting, investigating and witnessing our world.

We approach our work with integrity, passion, and respect. We believe stories have an impact and inspire action. We believe in the power of still and moving images. We are honest witnesses.

NOOR, which takes its name from the Arabic word for light, launched in 2007 as a platform for its members to take financial control over their work and leverage the power of a group in a changing media landscape.

Since then we have become industry leaders, producing images for large media companies and small startups, institutional clients and non-profits.
