The Hunger Hotspots report by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) identifies 18 hunger “hotspots” in a total of 22 countries where food security is expected to significantly deteriorate between November 2023 to April 2024, and Zimbabwe is among those hunger hotspots.
The WFP states that the food insecurity situation is worst in some parts of Zimbabwe, especially in Matebeleland provinces, and is continuing to deteriorate in this lean season.
