Third world charity Trocaire will open a public photographic exhibition of the work of Sutton and the Mines Advisory Group (Mag). The exhibition, entitled 'Clearing through the danger . . . the human face of conflict in Iraq' will highlight the humanitarian situation in Iraq and show the vital work being done by NGOs.

The exhibition will run from Tuesday 14 to Saturday 25 February in Trocaire's centre at 12 Cathedral St, Dublin 1. It will be the first time Sean Sutton's work has been shown in Ireland.

'Clearing through the danger . . . the human face of conflict in Iraq' documents the struggles facing Iraqi communities due to decades of conflict. The exhibition aims to show the human tragedy behind war and illustrate the level of devastation that has been inflicted on innocent civilians.

Speaking ahead of the exhibition Eamonn Meehan, deputy director of Trocaire said, "Trocaire is delighted to be hosting this exhibition in conjunction with Mag. It is vitally important that the Irish public doesn't forget the humanitarian tragedy that still continues to unfold in Iraq on a daily basis. We hope the public take a few minutes to drop into our centre and see these moving photographs."

Eamonn concluded, "As well as the daily fear of violence, Iraqi people face food shortages, inadequate sanitation and poor healthcare. Southern and central regions of Iraq are experiencing rising unemployment and poverty levels despite the country's massive oil wealth. These are the types of issues that are getting lost in the global political debate on Iraq."

Trocaire has been supporting relief and rehabilitation in the country since 1993.

Sutton is international information manager of Mag. His work is regularly featured in international newspapers and magazines including the New York Times, Newsweek and Time.

He was the Guardian's Young Photographer of the Year in 1991 and has a permanent exhibition in the Remnants of War Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Mag was co-winner of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize.
