UN says more than five million people in Zimbabwe, about a third of the population, need food aid, with many coming close to starving.
The World Food Programme, WFP has launched a three hundred and thirty- one million dollar appeal as the country battles the effects of drought, cyclone and economic crisis.
David Beasley, head of the WFP, said many are in crisis emergency mode marching towards starvation.
It was gathered that recent harvests have been badly affected by drought and the price of food has risen sharply while Low water levels have also hit the main hydro-electric plant at Kariba, triggering rolling power cuts across the country.
The country is also facing a financial crisis and has reintroduced the Zimbabwe dollar a decade after it was abandoned amidst rampant inflation.
