More than five million people in Zimbabwe - about a third of the population - need food aid, with many coming close to starving.

The United Nation has launched a $331 million appeal for aid as the country battles the effects of drought, a cyclone and an economic crisis.

Zimbabwe's problems were exacerbated when Cyclone Idai swept through the region earlier this year. The huge storm, affected approximately 570,000 Zimbabweans and left tens of thousands of them homeless.
