Explosive photos

A photo exhibition, Fatal Footprint, illustrates how victims of landmines and cluster munitions suffer. It also reveals the strength that animates these survivors and their families, and that pushes them to move forward.

Created by three photographers - John Vink, Gael Turine and Tim Dirven -- the photos mark the 10th anniversary of the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT) being put into effect. Despite some progress in stockpile destruction and landmine clearance in many war-affected areas, people continue to be blown up by unexploded ordnances.

According to Handicap International, the past decade has seen more than 73,000 deaths from landmines reported in over 100 nations and areas, with 32 percent of them being children, and many unrecorded cases.
