"HARARE - About 68 million people in Southern Africa are suffering the effects of an El Nino-induced drought which has wiped out crops across the region, the regional bloc SADC said on Saturday.
The drought, which started in early 2024, has hit crop and livestock production, causing food shortages and damaging the wider economies.
Heads of state from the 16-nation Southern African Development Community (SADC) were meeting in Zimbabwe's capital Harare to discuss regional issues including food security."
