In pictures: Hurricane Katrina one year on

The sun rises over the newly repaired Superdome in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina hit the US city a year ago, and a lot of work needs to be done to rebuild people's homes and lives

About 1,700 people lost their lives when Katrina brought heavy rains. Flood defences broke, and the city was filled with water. Here houses are still waiting to be rebuilt

Whole neighbourhoods were evacuated, and lots are still empty. Only 200,000 of New Orleans' 500,000 original residents have returned so far

But rebuilding work goes on, like here at the L and T Preparatory Academy.
