Photograph of a cyclone-hit village street on the coast, with damaged thatched and concrete houses and tall coconut palms with broken fronds. A small yellow pickup truck is parked with its rear loaded, and villagers crowd around it. A woman in a blue-and-grey sari carries a steel bowl and walks toward the truck, while women in orange, red and blue saris and a woman in white with a head covering stand nearby. Children and men in striped shirts and lungis gather around, some holding containers. Debris, fallen branches and a drainage channel with litter lie in the foreground, and the sea is visible at the left edge.
