Failed Harvest Deepens Zimbabwe’s Food Crisis
More than two million people in Zimbabwe, or close to one-fifth of the southern African country’s population, are in need of food aid, the Red Cross said Thursday.
The International Red Cross renewed its call for support for the region in a statement, saying an estimated 2.17 million people are in need of food aid, a number it says will rise on the back of an expected failed 2010 harvest.
