The situation in Zimbabwe is truly dire for all. People are literally starving to death as Zimbabwe lurches from one crisis to the next. Bulawayo suffers from acute water shortages, which lead to illness and even death as people resort to digging small wells and drinking contaminated water. Unreliable electricity supplies have wrought havoc on the winter wheat crop in a country that is already unable to feed a quarter of its population. In some areas there are 20 hour power cuts on a daily basis.
