When cyclone Phet hit Keti Bunder and surrounding areas in 2010, many homes were destroyed. Living in thatched huts, many roofs flew away or fell in, say locals, most of whom are fishermen or involved in the fishing industry. More than a year later, the re-building process is slow, but with the funds from an NGO a women's CCB has begun distributing money and repair material for those in need to build new houses. Dawn.com visits these communities to see what has been happening since Phet hit. --Video by Sara Faruqi/Dawn.com and Raheel Qureshi/Dawn.com
