    The Wider Image: Hong Kong struggles to improve conditions in

    Wong Wing Kee, 66, lies in his "coffin" home in Hong Kong, China, August 8, 2024. Living there for four years while waiting for public housing, he pays 2,500 HKD in rent, reimbursed through welfare subsidies. Wong recalls the pandemic as a safe period in the cramped space, with no infections among the more than ten residents, and social workers providing masks and test kits. Divorced and retired, he describes his home as incomplete without family but sees no choice in his living conditions while awaiting long-term housing options. REUTERS/Tyrone Siu
