DAYS into 2024, indications are that it will be a tough year for millions of the country’s rural folk as the latest Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) Rural Livelihoods Assessment report projects that more than 2,7 million people in the countryside are starring at hunger.
“During the peak hunger period (January to March 2024), 26% of the rural population is projected to be food insecure. This translates to 2 715 717 people. At least 100 482 metric tonnes of cereal will be required to feed the food insecure population during the peak hunger period,” the report said.
This is despite repeated government assurances that nobody would starve and the country had adequate food stocks to fend off famine.
Late last year the World Food Programme HungerMap LIVE remote monitoring platform showed a deteriorating food security situation in the country and estimated the number of people facing insufficient food consumption at five million during the first week of last month, which was an increase from the 4,1 million during the first week of September 2023.
