Millions of people in Zimbabwe could be left without any food if there is no help by December, the United Nations says.
It says the problem has been caused by recurring droughts and an economic crisis, and the coronavirus pandemic has made things worse.
Al Jazeera’s Haru Mutasa reports from Mashonaland West province, where impoverished communities are most affected.

Look at beautiful children suffering 😂 God will not forgive Africans Leaders IJMN. Amen 🙏🏾
If he forgives them or not is irrelevant, he has still allowed the suffering and death so is guilty of genocide.
Zimbabwe was the fruitbasket of Africa.
Until a bunch of people left that I shall not name now.
Zimbabwe had a 90 percent malnourished rate under the white government which is a lot worse than now
@DAVIS MATE A lot of those farms were bought after independence. So no displaced natives. But it made no difference. Black racists decided that the farms belonged to them.
@DAVIS MATE I daresay but they are rather good about forgetting bad stuff done by them. Bantus aren’t native to the area. They migrated there from West Africa. The original population were San. They got wiped out but not by whitey.
Another fact that tends to get ignored. White Afrikaaners arrived in the Cape before the Zulus got there but Zulus are supposedly “natives”….
@MrNorthernSol That is your twisted history, twisting facts as always.
@DAVIS MATE No, it’s a verifiable fact but I can see how that would confuse you.
Cause we’re
All Rhodesians and we’ll fight through think and thin.
Allah is testing them the wealthy and the poor😊
family of 8, and 10 grand children , not feeling sorry for these people
ken tate I don’t think they have the same access to money and contraception as you moron
@ken tate Um no, you do not need 4k US to raise a kid in other countries. I have 4 kids and I lived in Australia for 9 years. I only needed like 2500-3000 a month in Australia. I now live in Indonesia and I only need about 350 US a month for everything. So your amounts are based off where you live and not universal.
2nd, you can easily put 4 kids in 1 bedroom, just need 2 bunk beds. Other societies including Australia dont see the need for 2 kids in a bedroom. They only sleep there. You can easily have 8 kids in a 3 bedroom house aslong as you have a backyard. If no backyard would be tough but doable.
@tomuch 4u I think people forget not having a small amount of kids is not everyones goal. I want minimum of 6 kids. 10 would a dream. I am a white american with australia/american passports living in Indonesia.
@Shaheed Griffin rich man 2 million in the bank,2 children ,poor man 0 in the bank 6 children, ask your for kids, how life was as a child after their grown, about half a chicken wing, with the white rice ,no bike, cant see what they want on that 1 and only tv, waiting turn to access the only computer, hearing no, i cannot afford it
@ken tate Children are only expensive if you have useless things such as TV. My oldest daughter is 9 amd has never watched TV. I don’t religious agree with it. There are better things she could be doing.
Anyways my whole point was you don’t need 4000 US a month for a small family. Each kid is like 50-100 dollars max per month each. They live in the same house, use the same car, etc. Only things extra are food, toys, school stuff and clothing, etc.
I am not saying don’t try and have money if you want more kids, but a kid simply isn’t that expensive. I know from experience. Australia is more expensive than the US and i def don’t need 4k US a month for 4 kids.
Oh God please help them to be back on their own feet ❤❤❤
Poor people 😢😢
Gates depopulation of Africa gets the results he wanted.
But but but…. they have land have they not? Land is the solution to all the world’s problems…. that is what the god Mugabe said…… we pray to him, he is an ancestor now……maybe he’ll help us from the grave, in life he did not?
Thanks Bob. With the most fertile soil in the world, this is what you’ve done to the breadbasket of Africa.
The most fertile soil in the world is in the fens UK.
Zimbabwe is 1.6 times the size of the UK with a population of 14.44 million, but, whatever.
@fried spaghetti I just had to point out that the most fertile soils in the world are in the Fens. I live here. We might not have as much land as Zimbabwe, but the land we have is extremely fertile, with excellent rains.
Zimbabwe has a large amount of land that is extremely hard for agriculture. I went to school in Plumtree. It was hard to grow anything there.
@Graham T, I stand corrected, at least in regards to Plumtree. Good to hear you are happy in the Fens.
The “used to be” breadbasket of Africa has starving people
. Go figure’ 🙄
Just Communism in a working man
They working to a failed state as usual.
Its called drought
It’s a mystery!
It was 90 percent malnutrition during the white government. According to the university of Rhodesia in 1976
Right next to South Africa. Perhaps BLM in America will raise money to feed these poor starving ppl.
BLM want’s USA to be like this
there will no money arrive for the common pop…only the rich will get richer. the only thing that could have helped them was rhodesia :’D
I see that they are willing to farm but there is drought very sad 😥 😢
Have you tried NOT evicting or even killing white farmers?
I don’t think white farmers can farm without rain…
I’m single 😥😥😥😥😥
Take a wife from Zimbabwe!
This is what happens when black people in the motherland doesn’t totally rejects the idea of white economics in a black country. The Unification of all of black Africa is a must and black people have to relying on black economics to resolve black people problems in our Strong proud beloved beautiful black motherland which is the most beautiful richest place on Planet Earth.
WAKANDA FOREVER!
Oh Lord. Please prevent hunger from happening to anybody 🙏
What the Coronascam is All about – All going according to plan
And Zanu-PF says there is no crisis in Zimbabwe…
Why don’t the population raise against this fail and corrupt government? I’ve been hearing a lot from this country when its rich in natural minerals and wildlife. Bring down these crooks
-People of poor nation rise up.
-Governments of wealthy nations fund the current regime with weapons.
-Uprising is violently crushed by corrupt regime.
This happens every time the people of a poor nation rise up against their government.
So what is the whole of the African continent waiting for? Am waiting to see….
They expect the whites to help them. And if the whites do not help them, they will get upset.
Thanks to capitalism.

there is almost no corona in Zimbabwe, only 229 deaths. the government is using it to control people. Also, the government of Zimbabwe is brutally corrupt. including the minister of tourism stealing millions….the minister of tourism! And finally economic sanctions by the USA as usual, only hurts the poor people, while the President gets a charter jet from Dubai.
That’s a FAILED government !!! Accept no aid from outside Africa…
More power to Zimbabwe for standing on it’s own and refusing to be the European’s b@tch.
Yaparara Zimbabwe,,kutongwa ne mhandu taneta.
Somehow the WFP spokeswoman looks either overworked or not having enough food than the locals.
I wish they were still Rhodesia. They would have been fine today…
I would rather starve than be a farm boy abused by some white farmer in shorts.
@Thomas Mbiba So you shall 👌
Please free the children of zimbabwe, free africa now cuz africa no free, jah rastafari
Go smoke some more weed. Sssshhh. _Pass that dutchie from the left hand side._ ♬
I am confused. Why can’t they feed themselves 🤷🏾 ?
Are they mentally slow ? Seriously I just don’t understand why they don’t have less children and get a garden
You know why there was never any type of assistance with development or technology and that was done purposely so they could take advantage of the situation .. Desmond Tutu said they left us with the Bible📖 and then took our land
Man every other year y’all say they starving…are they gonna starve or not?
they are starving like bikini models.
Maybe if they didn’t expel their farmers because of the color of their skin, then they would not be in that situation.
Zambia is helping by sending truck loads of maize, So don’t worry, shamwaris
Are you serious when you say people are starving don’t show people that are overweight or on the way of being obese.
This is South Africa in a decade. They have also started expropriation without compensation and farm murders are high. You would think the government had learnt from their neighbors but no. Feel so sorry for the people in zim
You have to have an IQ above 80 for that. Those people are few and far between in government.
The thumbnail
.sooo beautiful..its just sad the waste in uk and us is outstanding no one should go hungry no one
The results of Mugabe leadership. A crook corrupt revolutionary.
Quetzalcoatl Bwhahahaha…..nice try
@Foxy Lady mugabes daughter was booted out of australia with seven other lowlifes. she now study’s in Hong Kong thanks to their Swiss bank account.
@Quetzalcoatl you really are naive that basically means stupid. figure you would be too thick to know the definition
Troll Hunter I’m sure a lot are living the high life..
Stay in europe your homeland.
Lockdown is not for everyone,..
Grab more land from white farmers and ask un for food😂😂 I thought they are going to farm themselves now the land is useless 😂😂
The land needs to be regenerated, everything else is a band aid solution.
They wanted to eliminate the white farmers and now they are hungry
You wanted land reform? You wanted communism, again? Have fun now! Enjoy the harvest!
America should stop sanctions too these countries American politicians are eating luxury, while those countries being sanctioned are starving.
Their Mcdonald’s is no longer serving them food!?!? *Sucks to be them..*
Coche en planeta le voy a decir algo que no debería hablar trato lo mínimo de hablar esta situación por mi seguridad personal y de mi familia no me gusta hablar en cuestiones de finanzas y economía porque sé que es un riesgo un peligro Ya me han amenazado un montón de veces hasta la tentado contra mi vida por eso evitó hablar sobre esta situación ustedes porque creen que quiero hacer un imperio para tirarme de panza Llamar a artolas Miss Universo y después del desfile vengan borrachas y se echen encima de mí y felices por favor también no soy Miss Universo también también como para una una metida de mano entre comida nada más nada más O sea un saludo en la México nada más Yo quiero hacer mi imperio para que las naciones que estén ese imperio no pidan ayuda económica al Banco Mundial ni a ninguna entidad nada más les puedo decir mi vida corre riesgo bastante feliz no por eso trato de evitar esto pero les dije ya para eso quiero imperio ayudar a las naciones eso qué significa que tendrán todo
If only bill gates was more concerned with feeding the world instead of injecting 💉💉💉💉 the world
Make people healthy is a way to make country better
they killed white people who fed them, right?
Tragic & real. The power-brokers of the world do not care.
Haru Mutasa please tell us how to help them
Sharing, Justice and Peace for All.
If you want to see programs about starvation, look up ”MARK KNOWHEREMAN” video’s. Millions are starving in the Philippines, too.
How can a person have billions when others starve. ARE WE A BUNCH OF F.. HUMAN RACE IDIOTS? We all know this is wrong and our responsibility to provide for one another the basics.
Thieves and criminals in government
Farming activity is a genetic mutation rather than a learned behavior.
When the people die off then the government will only have themselves to eat each other.
Make more babies, that will help with your poverty woman!
Yet the World Food Programme is awarded a Nobel Peace Prize 😠😡
Very sad situation ☹️ God bless them every moment 🙏🙏🙏
Glad to see all the specialists in the comments 🙄
I am surprised they don’t even have chickens that they can raise, but being in a drought probably says it all right there. You need water for livestock.
Pls somebody tell me or send me the details how I can contribute to them…plz
Call Macron, Papa…UE….
Just watched a video cgtn news about zimbabwe completely apposite of al-Jazeera fake news is real just want to see black people in a negative way
Funny they don’t mention “Incompetent corrupt government” as a factor.
Yip.
God bless you🕊
Hopefully Pelosi will share some of her Ice Creams with them…
These are not starving people.
Speaking someone who has luxury Life and everything.
@Mashal Wafa
What is a life of luxury?
In the last 2000 years, is there a time Africans were not in hunger?
What a stupid comment. Please pick up a book.
They miss those white farmers now huh? 🤣
Taking land from White farmers didn’t turn out so well afterall.
What should they do sit in shanties while foreigners lived the high life.. I say this we stay in Africa everyone else stay where they are
@NAT TURNER They were not foriegners, they were natural born citizens of the land, you racist folks got rid of them on account of skin color and now you have nothing to eat, should we get rid of blacks from caucasian lands? There are many who enjoy high places like Obama and Kanye.
This is your own fault. You took away land from white farmers who actually growth food for Africa.
In the business world if a company are mismanage it can be place under administration to protect shareholders. Just imagine what a better world this would be if we can put Africa and the Middle East under administration.
Feed some same as seed humantry be inside us .. .
Zimbabwe took Soviets approach .. Land , farms robbery Marxists insanity same ending
Starvation corruption… Don’t worry New Marxists State in making
America will support comrades….. Printing money is easy to do …
This is what happens when you chase away white farmers. Take note, South Afirca.
It was 90 percent malnutrition in 1976 according to the university of Rhodesia under the white government
time to recolinize africa
We failed as humans!That is the only truth.
Sad. Very sad.
Yea right BS as long as there is the Earth you can never starve FOH 🤮
Yet they have children like jackrabbits
Stay in europe 😃
MOST “WHITE PEOPLE'” HERE MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT ZIMBABWE DON’T HAVE A CLUE ITS THEIR COUNTRIES PLACED INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS ON ZIMBABWE. IT WAS NOT BECOZ ZIMBABWE CHASED THE WHITE FARMERS. AFRICAN FARMERS ARE FULLY CAPABLE OF GROWING & PRODUCING CROPS IF THEY ARE ABLE TO FINANCE CAPITAL.
NORTH KOREANS ARE SUFFERING BECOZ OF SANCTIONS IMPOSED BY THE WEST. THE WEST IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE IMPOVERISHMENT OF BOTH COUNTRIES.
USA sniffs if there is oil, and start the war to get the oil.
Chitiya Mugabe
La ilaha illallah
Are we surprised?
Birth Control
It was a well off country in the times of Rhodesia. I do remember UN condemned it. Now UN should be happy supplying the food.
It’s time for Western Europeans to say adios. Relationship for the past 500 years has been one-sided theft operation when I was in Ghana you saw no development only development they left were the train tracks they used to extract what they needed. You don’t like us we don’t like you neither peace ✌️ take that Bible too
Many poor people don’t have children because they know they can’t afford it. Yet people in Africa keep making baby’s. Why?
Ask the Lord stay in europe stay safe
Doesn’t look like that reporters eating any less
Hope the situation of Zimbabwe will become better….World Food Programme and Other Major NGO’s help this Nation as situation is alarming (almost 60% of the Nation are not getting proper food)…
Western European policies in Africa are responsible for unimaginable suffering of the masses in Africa and throughout the world. And must be called what is is FACISTISM
This doesn’t make sense. Africa has so much money and wealth but the wealth is acquired by a few men at the top.
It’s sad because they can work the land but a lot of dependency on foreign aid has actually made poverty worse.
The donations have stopped coming from 1st world countries because of monetary issues and this is a problem not just in africa but latin America and Europe where they needed that money because a lot of immigrants working in the states send money to their families abroad. And I’m talking about Billions
The UN is contributing to their starvation while pretending to help.
I blame the west. I blame colonialism. I will never blame Zanu PF who has been running the place as a self appointed king for 40 years
Funny how zbc sugar coat and double down the real issues
Stop asking for handouts, learn how to farm
