With Zimbabwe experiencing its worst-ever hunger crisis, the United Nations and its relief partners have revised their humanitarian appeal to scale up food assistance to people most affected by drought, flooding, and economic stagnation.

Seeking $331 million to reach 3.7 million people with humanitarian assistance and protection, the UN and its partners are also focusing on strategies to help the Southern African nation becoming as food sufficient as it once was.

The UN Resident Coordinator for Zimbabwe, Mr. Bishow Parajuli, was recently in New York and sat with UN News’s Assumpta Massoi and gave her a snapshot of the current humanitarian situation in the country.
