WFP urgently seeks funds to support millions of Zimbabweans facing hunger season Format A WFP beneficiary divides shares of WFP food assistance at a distribution in Bindura district, Zimbabwe © WFP/Tatenda Macheka HARARE – With millions of Zimbabweans devastated by a year of drought, rising hyperinflation and COVID-19, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today appealed for an additional US$204 million to support over four million of the most food insecure over the next six months. The appeal comes ahead of the ‘lean’ season, which risks pushing some 6.9 million people nearly half of Zimbabwe’s population into hunger by its March peak, according to the most recent national data. That includes roughly one-third of the rural population, who are expected to face “crisis” or “emergency” levels of hunger, and 2.3 million hungry urban dwellers. Others are spared from falling deeper into acute hunger thanks to assistance from WFP and partners.
