Summary edit

Description

Roshan, aged 60, stands in front of the remains of his home in a remote village in Pakistan's Sindh Province. His house was badly damaged by flood water that swept through the village in August 2010, and although it is still standing, it is structurally unsafe, with huge cracks running through the walls.

He and his family returned to their village when the water receded in October 2010, but have been sleeping outside their house in a tent provided by the NGO Concern, with funding from the UK government, since then, as they are scared that the house will collapse.

Ali's beard and chest hair are dyed with henna, a traditional practice amongst muslim men in Sindh and across Pakistan.
