The
humanitarian crisis in Zimbabwe continues to deepen. During the
past six months, the combination of causal factors (policy, environment,
drought, and HIV/AIDS) generated a dynamic that has steadily worsened
the humanitarian situation. A recent report by the Zimbabwe Vulnerability
Assessment Council indicates that food insecurity is growing.
More people are becoming dependent on humanitarian assistance,
while national capacity to respond in terms of food and agricultural
assistance, health, education, and other basic services is debilitated
by the same causal factors. The politicization of relief aid distributions
(food, seeds, drugs, and shelter) makes responding to the situation
even more complex. |
