The Wider Image: Last handful of fish: Crisis pushes more

W. A. Susantha, 45, husband of Gamage Rupawathi, 60, holds a cup of plain tea and two pieces of biscuit, the only food he has for the day, amid the country’s economic crisis, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, August 2, 2022. “When I had a fruit business I was earning a significant income,” Rupawathi said. “But with the drawn-out lockdowns during the pandemic and now this economic crisis I don’t have money to restart my fruit stall.” REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon
