Mugabe’s Zanu-PF blocking food aid amid Zimbabwe drought

Zimbabwe’s ruling party has been accused of deliberately withholding aid from opposition supporters in areas facing starvation because of drought.

The country’s human rights commission said opponents of President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party had been told they would never get any food aid.

The government has not yet commented.

Mugabe declared a state of disaster in February, with the government estimating that four million people would need food aid by January 2017
