Flooding in the Zambezi Region is having a devastating impact on farming communities, with many crop fields now submerged under water. Farmers have lost large portions of their crops, while others remain at risk as water levels continue to rise.

Various members of parliament stressed the importance of continuing the drought relief programme as some parts of the country remain food insecure.

This was the discussion that ensued after Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare announced the end of the current drought relief programme.
