In this picture taken on March 6, 2017, a worker mops the floor at the end of the day next to packets of dried shark fins (C) in a dried goods shop in Hong Kong. The city's government in 2013 said it would stop serving shark fin at official functions, while luxury hotel chains Shangri-La and Peninsula Hotels also took it off their menus in 2012 and 2011. But the culture of consuming shark fin remains widespread and it is found on menus across seafood restaurants in the city. Photo credit: AFP PHOTO / Anthony WALLACE / Getty Images.

In the western desert town of Dinsoor, newly arrived drought victims rush toward food supplies delivered by the UN's World Food Program. According to a United Nations February 2017 report, famine could soon be a reality in Somalia, largely due consecutive and severe drought. There are already worrying similarities to the situation in 2011, when 260,000 died. In the worst affected areas, chiefly rural communities, crops have been wiped out and livestock died, while communities are being forced to sell their assets, and borrow money and food to survive. Some 6.2 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. Of these, 3 million people cannot meet their daily food requirements and need urgent humanitarian assistance. UN humanitarian efforts, from UN agencies such as UN OCHA, World Food Program (WFP) and UNICEF as well as on the ground NGO's, are all in overdrive mode providing the a combination of food distribution, access and security as well as medical support and treatment. Cholera has now taken hold in remote areas as water sources become scarce and that available has become expensive to buy. Villagers affected, mostly in the southern part of the country, have resorted to drinking stagnant and dirty water with the last count of cholera victims now past 7,500. With the rainy season due in April, the probability of full-out famine will become a stark reality if the season again provides a lower than needed rainfall amount.

Coca growers load a truck with sacks of coca leaves at the Coca Market in La Paz on March 7, 2017. Bolivia's President Evo Morales government will submit to the UN a new cultivation bill, under which, the legal cultivation area for the country's two main coca-growing regions would be capped at 22,000 hectares -some 14,000 for the 'acullico' (ancient chewing to prevent tiredness) and some 7,000 for its industrialization 'strictly aimed at medical and pharmaceutical use'. According to the United Nations in its latest report, in 2015 Bolivia had 20,2000 coca-growing hectares and was the world's third-largest producer after Colombia and Peru.

People work at a cocoa sorting centre on March 6, 2017 in Sobre. Ivory Coast, the world's largest cocoa producer, will conduct an audit of its sector, shaken by a squeeze on the crop, causing recent outbreaks of planters' anger. 'The current situation is mainly due to defects, the execution of certain contracts, and the undervaluation of production for the main season, with a cumulative volume of about 350,000 tons,' said Ivorian Minister of Agriculture Mamadou Sangafowa Coulibaly, in a press release.
