This is a screen capture of this morning's Sunrise (Channel Seven's morning news programme), reporter Anna Coren live in front of abandoned homes in one of the poorest areas in New Orleans.
From her report, more than 1800 people have lost their lives and still half a million people still not returned. The place still hasn't been cleaned up, it looks like the hurricane was just pasted last week. People are angry as they feel they were neglected.
News.com.au wrote:The horrors experienced at the Superdome and elsewhere in New Orleans stoked concern about racial and economic divisions because African-Americans and the poor bore the brunt of the suffering.
Asked if he believed race was a factor in the slow federal response to Katrina, Mr Nagin said: "If it would have been a bunch of rich people in New Orleans, I think there would have been a different response. I really do."
Mr Bush rejected the idea that race influenced the response.
"Whoever says that is trying to politicise a very difficult situation," Mr Bush told American Urban Radio Network in an interview. But he acknowledged the hurricane had exposed a racial divide in the United States and said he hoped the rebuilding could heal it.
