"Children of the Gulf War" photo exhibition UK tour

Do you know that the 1991 Gulf War was a war of mass destruction? It was also a nuclear war - radioactive DU weapons were used.

And again, the US and the UK used DU weapons during the recent war.

Do you know what happened in Iraq after the last Gulf War and what will inevitably happen after this attack?

If you don't yet know what DU (Depleted Uranium) is, if you don't yet know what the consequence of using DU weapons, come and see the "Children of the Gulf War" photo exhibition.

Who is Takashi Morizumi October 18, 2005 1:44 PM

Photographer of "Children of the Gulf War"
　Takashi Morizumi is a photojournalist who covers topics in Japan and overseas such as the effects of US military bases and environmental problems. In particular, since the later half of the 90s, he has covered the damages caused by nuclear mining, testing, power plants, and the use of depleteted uranium and other nuclear weapons.

Takashi has been documenting the children of Iraq since 1998. He has observed the effects of the U.S. government blockade: no medical supplies, malnourished children, weakened children dying in large numbers, and the alarming increase in leukemia, cancer, and physical deformities. To read Takashi's introduction to his book Children of the Gulf War, click here.

"I hope to show to many people a view of the things happening around the world that I have been investigating. In the 21st century, where is the world heading? Can mankind's intelligence lead us to a bright future? I want you to keep thinking positively."
