El Niño impact

Millions in Southern Africa struggle as El Niño-driven drought devastates crops, spurring food shortages and urgent calls for aid.

The UN World Food Programme faces a severe funding shortfall in its efforts to combat the worst drought in southern Africa in decades, putting millions at risk of hunger.

In Buhera, Zimbabwe, drought-induced hunger forces reliance on food handouts. With crops failing, residents face a dire need for sustained aid and solutions.
