The World Food Program warned that months of drought in southern Africa could evolve into a full-scale human catastrophe affecting over 27 million people.
Five countries have declared national disasters due to the drought and hunger crises, with an estimated 21 million children now malnourished amid widespread crop failure.
WFP spokesperson Tomson Phiri emphasized that as we enter the lean season, each month is anticipated to worsen until next year's harvests in March and April.
The WFP urgently requires around $369 million for immediate assistance but has received only a fraction of the funds needed amidst a donation shortfall.
