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. Here: The Mines Advisory Group (Mag) has been clearing large areas across northern Iraq since 1992. They have removed and destroyed 167,000 mines, 2m unexploded ordnance and more than 11,000 improvised booby-traps. Here, an explosive is placed beside a fragmentation mine in Choman in 1998.
