Humanitarian crisis looms in Southern Madagascar as drought and pandemic double number of hungry people Format © WFP/Tsiory Andriantsoarana ANTANANARIVO Three consecutive years of drought coupled with a sharp recession triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic will leave a third of the population in Southern Madagascar struggling to put food on the table. With severe malnutrition rates continuing to spiral and many children forced to beg in order to help their families eat, urgent action is required to prevent a humanitarian crisis. With drought conditions persisting into 2021 and a poor last harvest, weary communities have few resources to fall back on and many have had to leave their homes in search of food and work. Some 1.35 million people are projected to be food insecure - 35% of the region s population. The figure is nearly double what it was in the same period last year.

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.
