| Zimbabwe's ambassador to the European Union is drawing up a request for food aid to help relieve the country's growing food shortages, a European Parliament development committee member has said. Zimbabwe's Gift Punungwe said he will "be making a detailed request" to EU Aid Commissioner Louis Michel concerning the need for increased food supplies, EU assembly member Eoin Ryan said yesterday. "The ambassador said Zimbabwe needs substantial food supplies from the EU. He admitted his country is suffering chronic food shortages and people are now caught by the clear effects of a famine," Mr Ryan said after meeting with Mr Punungwe. A spokeswoman for Mr Punungwe confirmed the meeting had taken place on Thursday and the issue of EU aid was discussed. |
