Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa declared a state of national disaster due to a severe drought, exacerbated by the El Nino weather pattern, affecting the country and the broader southern Africa region. The drought has significantly reduced farm output, including halving maize crops in Zimbabwe. Neighboring countries Zambia and Malawi have also declared states of disaster in response to similar conditions. President Mnangagwa announced that Zimbabwe requires over $2 billion in aid to provide necessary food assistance to millions of people facing hunger. The situation highlights the urgent need for financial support to address the immediate humanitarian crisis and to assist farmers in coping with the adverse weather conditions.
