Iraq's killing fields:

the lethal legacy of landmines – in pictures

 

After decades of conflict,

Iraq has been left littered with unexploded booby-traps.

 

The Mines Advisory Group has spent 25 years in the country

working to destroy and clear some of the millions of pieces of deadly ordnance.

 

These images show members of the organisation at work,

and the people whose lives have been touched and transformed by their efforts

Ten-year old Khadab found a cache of munitions in a school

in Kirkuk in 2003.

 

He was terribly injured

after trying to burn gunpowder

and explosives taken from the ordnance
