Photojournalism: Tsunami: New Housing

Men work on building 500 relief homes at a site in the southern town of Nagapattinam, India. The town of Nagapattinam suffered huge losses in the Tsunami disaster which struck south Asia December 26, 2004. The town's industry, fishing, suffered the loss of hundreds of large fishing boats in its marina and thousands of residents lost their lives. The town is attempting to rebuild, from NGOs constructing temporary shelters to cranes carefully removing boats from the town's shore. Still, the destruction is incomprehensible both in infrastructure and life.
