A photo exhibit that runs through Jan. 30 examines the consequences of war and economic sanction on the children of Iraq.

The exhibit is located at the Center for the Humanities, 811 SW Jefferson Ave. Admission is free.

The exhibit opened Jan. 20 with a multimedia presentation created by Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility that examined whether war is an appropriate response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Japanese photojournalist Takashi Morizumi, the first journalist allowed into Iraq after the conclusion of the Gulf War in 1991, created the exhibit.

The exhibit concentrates on the illnesses Iraqi children have suffered as a result of exposure to depleted uranium, contained in some of the munitions allied forces fired during the Middle East conflict. Some of the images are disturbing.

The exhibit also focuses on the lives of Iraqis under the weight of economic sanctions.

One image shows a group of Iraqi children beaming for the camera.

Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.

The exhibit will move to the third floor of the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 N.W. Beach St., from Feb. 3-8.
