Highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see.
This week’s gallery features images of a 4-year-old girl who was badly burned in a massive suicide truck bombing in Karada, Iraq; an aunt crying after viewing the body of Alton Sterling, who was shot in an encounter with police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and a woman with an infant takes cover in the doorway of U.N. offices as fighting starts in the capital of South Sudan.

Asal and her mother were badly burned as they shopped for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Iraq’s deadliest single bombing in 13 years of war has turned the Baghdad district where it took place into the centerpiece in an increasingly bitter rivalry between the country’s prime minister and Iranian-backed Shiite militias eager to hold sway over the city’s most diverse and prosperous area.
