Food aid

AT LEAST 9 500 people from Midlands and Masvingo provinces are benefiting from a food aid programme being spearheaded by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), which seeks to eradicate food insecurity during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

THE World Food Programme (WFP) says half of the country’s population is now in need of urgent food assistance.

THE European Union (EU) has donated 16,8 million euros, which translates to nearly US$18,7 million, towards addressing emergency food needs and support for vulnerable people in Zimbabwe, the Daily News reports.
