UN ersucht um Hilfe für Simbabwe

August 7, 2019 - Das UN Welternährungsprogramm hat einen Aufruf für $331 Millionen an Hilfe für die Millionen Menschen in Simbabwe gestartet, da das Land unter den Folgen der Dürre, einen Zyklon und einer Wirtschaftskrise leidet.
The UN food agency has launched a $331 million appeal for aid donations to help feed millions of people in Zimbabwe as the country battles the effects of drought, a cyclone and an economic crisis.

David Beasley, executive director of the UN World Food Programme, said 2.3 million people in rural Zimbabwe need emergency food aid now and the figure would increase to 5.5 million during the lean season up to March next year, Reuters reported.

The government estimates another 2.2 million people in urban areas also require food aid, bringing the total to 7.7 million, more than half of the southern African nation’s population.

The $331.5 million would be used for food aid, provision of water and sanitation and cash handouts to stricken families.
