Plan to address food insecurity in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwean
authorities
are
aiming
to
distribute
140
000
metric
tons
of
aid
grain
by
the
end
of
October
this
year
to
an
estimated
six
million
food
insecure
people
in
rural
Zimbabwe.
The
country
is
facing
a
severe
drought
which
has
led
to
significant
crop
failures
and
livestock
losses.
Urban
households
are
also
increasingly
becoming
vulnerable
and
an
estimated
1.7
million
people
in
urban
areas
will
be
assisted
with
cash
for
cereal.
