The severe drought in southern Africa, affecting countries like Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi, has led to a dire food crisis. Aid agencies like USAID and the World Food Programme are assisting millions who are facing hunger due to failed crops. Extreme weather patterns compounded by the El Niño phenomenon have devastated harvests. With limited resources and a global hunger crisis, aid efforts are strained. The situation is expected to worsen, leaving many without food security well into 2025.
