Meals dry up as Zimbabwe’s drought sets in

Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia are among the countries in Southern Africa most affected by malnutrition caused by drought.

Zimbabwe and neighbouring Malawi and Zambia are among the countries in Southern Africa most affected by malnutrition after a severe drought which experts say was worsened by the El Nino phenomenon.

In May, President Emmerson Mnangagwa declared a state of disaster, saying Zimbabwe needed at least $2bn to respond to the drought.

At least 7.6 million people, almost half of the population, need aid, the UN said in May.
