Hurricane Katrina: New Orleans 'moving on', Obama says

US President Barack Obama has described New Orleans as moving forward 10 years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. 

Mr Obama who was speaking at the Andrew Sanchez Community Center in the Lower Ninth Ward, said residents of the city exemplify people building a better future out of tragedy and setting a positive example. 

The mostly African-American neighbourhood is still recovering from the disastrous 2005 storm. 

Hurricane Katrina killed nearly two thousand people and displaced one million.
