Prison inmates are held at the end of a sunken highway in New Orleans, Louisiana August 31, 2005 after Hurricane Katrina struck. Authorities struggled on Wednesday to evacuate thousands of people from hurricane-battered New Orleans as food and water grew scarce and looters raided stores, while U.S. President George W. Bush said it would take years to recover from the devastation. [Reuters]
