Zimbabwe: Millions at Risk of Starving Amid Climate Change-Fueled Drought
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Zimbabwe, the United Nations is warning 5.5 million rural residents -
or nearly a third of Zimbabwe's population - are at risk of food
shortages due to a devastating drought brought on by climate change. The
head of the World Food Programme is appealing for $331 million in
emergency food aid, warning, "People are marching towards starvation if
we are not here to help them."
