    The Wider Image: Hong Kong struggles to improve conditions in

    A view of residential buildings in Mong Kok, where many "coffin" homes are located due to convenient transportation, in Hong Kong, China, July 22, 2024. Sub-divided flats and "coffin" homes are usually located in outdated residential buildings in old business areas, allowing access to workplaces and schools at a price residents can afford. About 1.4 million of Hong Kong's population of about 7.5 million live in poverty, with the number of poor households rising to 619,000 in the first quarter of 2024, or about 22.7 percent of the total, says non-profit organisation Oxfam.
