Handprints on the walls of the sunken Chinese cruise ship Eastern Star are a moving testimony to the despairing final moments of the at least 432 passengers who died when the vessel capsized on the Yangtze river last week. Photographers from China Foto Press and Xinhua capture the aftermath of the tragedy in pictures from inside the righted boat.
