Zimbabwe Food Aid in Jeopardy Over Plan
AP reports, "United Nations officials threatened to stop delivering food relief to the hungry in Zimbabwe if the government proceeded with plans to take control of the distribution of food aid, the U.N. food agency said Friday. A government directive issued earlier this week ordered international donors to hand food aid over to ruling party-dominated rural committees and local leaders in famine-hit districts, raising fears the government will use the food as a political weapon." :: Submitted for your famine (Matthew 24:7) files.
