The United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned that food
insecurity and shortages continue to be a chronic problem in southern
Africa.
“Southern Africa is facing a silent food insecurity emergency,” UN Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator Catherine Bragg said
“In Lesotho, about a third of the population does not have enough food to eat or sell. In Zimbabwe, 1.6 million people are expected to be food insecure and many families are selling their own livestock to cope with this dire situation," Bragg noted.
