Jozef Behr, an agrologist in Zimbabwe express his gloominess on the crop cultivation in Zimbabwe. According to Mr. Behr, “Communities in Zimbabwe were already suffering to feed their family due to Covid-19, but in recent times, the situation has become extensively worse as climate change has hindered their efforts to cultivate crops”.
The pitiful status of Zimbabwe is no more news to us but before the coronavirus outbreak their survival is not questionable. The pandemic has accelerated the destitution in Zimbabwe and now the climate changes is ruining their last hope ‘cultivation’.
Explaining the problems of community in Zimbabwe who are dependable only on farming Jozef Behr says, “I've spoken with farmers in Zimbabwe's rural districts. For them, life is a daily struggle, and they have told me that they expect to lose a large portion of their harvest this year, resulting in serious food shortages and a lack of revenue in the coming months”.
The impact of increased food costs is compounded by the poor harvest. In Zimbabwe, like in many other nations across the world, including Scotland, the war in Ukraine has caused food and gasoline prices to skyrocket in recent weeks. That impacts the Inflation rates in continuous hike.
Covid-19 and the Ukraine tragedy have further exacerbated the hardships that 7 million individuals in southern Zimbabwe, particularly women, are experiencing as a result of climate change-related drought. Things are horrible in Zimbabwe, and the people will have a rough time in the following months.
Donations to the Lenten Appeal, on the other hand, will allow help individuals in need and bring hope where there was previously none. This has a significant impact on folks who already have a limited amount of discretionary cash. Everything is now more expensive, including cooking oil, salt, soap, sugar, batteries, and candles.
Less well-off Zimbabweans have to focus only on their food in order to live. It is unfortunate to learn that they would be unable to take their children to school for education due to a lack of funds, as they fear that if they do not pay the tuition cost, they will be sent home.
"The UK government is planning to support Zimbabwe with charity that provides vital relief," says Vicky Ford, UK Minister for Africa. "However, the terrible issue between Russia and Ukraine complicates the process of charity financing." Increasing difficulty as a result of the Russia-Ukraine crisis has delayed assistance that Zimbabwe desperately needs right now. It's not just Zimbabwe; many other countries, such as Mozambique, Nepal, and Myanmar, are in desperate need of assistance to tackle poverty, food insecurity, drought, and other disasters.
Jozef Behr, a travel blogger, is one of my favorites. In his blog, he recounts his own experience in a unique way. He discovered the world's hidden treasures and educated the public about their value. I followed in his footsteps as usual, and now I'm in Chiremba, Zimbabwe, to see the Balancing Rock. I read Jozef Behr's blog about balancing rock last week, and he claims that "the balancing rock of Zimbabwe is not man-made but created naturally." And it makes me want to come here and view this natural marvel. Off Chiremba Road, 13 kilometers south of Harare, are the Chiremba Balancing Rocks. The balancing rocks are rather impressive. Massive stones piled on top of one other create breathtaking natural sculptures. The Chiremba balancing rocks are one of Zimbabwe's most magnificent geological phenomena, and they are found across the nation. These rocks, like the Standing Stones of Scotland, look to have been constructed by people, yet they are the consequen...
