Millions at risk of starving in Zimbabwe Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:40:00 EST
HUMANITARIAN AGENCIES are warning millions of Zimbabwe citizens are facing starvation unless the government lifts its ban on aid. The government accuses independent aid groups of supporting Zimbabwean opposition Movement for Democratic Change, charges the groups deny. Ever since the June 5 ban, aid groups say the government has given food primarily to President Robert Mugabe's supporters. In Geneva, John Holmes, the U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said he's very concerned about 2 million to 4 million Zimbabweans who have become increasingly dependent on food aid. A joint report by the FAO and the World Food Program estimates the number of Zimbabweans suffering from food insecurity will rise to 3.8 million between July and October and reach more than 5 million at the height of the lean season between January and March 2009. "Stopping those shipments for three or four weeks is a problem but not a disaster," Holmes said. "Stopping for longer is going to be an enormous problem."
