Atlanta Black Star: Zimbabwe has appealed to local businesses and charities for $1.5 billion in aid to save more than a quarter of the population from starvation due to drought.
The government of Zimbabwe requires a total of $1,572,009,953 with effect from February to December 2016, said Emmerson Mnangagwa, Zimbabwes vice-president.
The amount of rainfall received to date is inadequate to meet basic household consumption needs as well as support for livelihoods, agriculture and wildlife.
