Zimbabwe will require $1.6 billion to combat hunger amid the country’s most severe drought in two decades that’s already left 3 million people without enough to eat, Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa said.
Of that amount, $717 million is needed to buy grain, with another $200 million for school feeding programs and almost $140 million to support livestock farmers, according to a statement distributed on Tuesday in the capital, Harare.
