    The Wider Image: Hong Kong struggles to improve conditions in

    Kwok Kwai, 65, poses for a photo inside his subdivided flat in Hong Kong, China, August 8, 2024. Living there for nearly 15 years, he pays 2,700 HKD in rent and uses at least four fans to lower the indoor temperature in the poorly ventilated space. A retired construction worker, Kwok chose the flat for its proximity to work in Sham Shui Po but did not apply for public housing as he owns an apartment which is used by family members. While describing the environment as challenging, with issues like rats and extreme temperatures, he says the flat is manageable, offering a sense of peace and family-like stability. REUTERS/Tyrone
