Food needed

The United Nations World Food Programme today said 2.2 million people in Zimbabwe might need food assistance during the pre-harvest period early next year. “Many districts, particularly in the south, harvested very little and people are already trying to stretch out their dwindling food stocks,” Country Director Sory Ouane said. “WFP is working closely with the government and partners to respond to the looming food crisis and will start food and cash distributions to the most vulnerable in October.”
