In pictures: South Asia's slow recovery from the tsunami

AC Nihardeen is a camp leader for tsunami victims near Nilaveli Beach in Trincomalee district. Holding his daughter, he shows off his half-completed new home. Construction came to a standstill earlier this year because of renewed fighting between the army and Tamil Tiger rebels.

"The tsunami was known as 'tsunami gold' because of the new opportunities it brought - our new homes were meant to be finished by October 2006, but they are only half done because of the lack of security."
