NGOs Denied Access to Areas in Zimbabwe

Humanitarian organisations are accusing the Zimbabwean government and war veterans of denying them access to some parts of the country to distribute food aid.

The National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) says the situation has made it difficult for organisations to provide humanitarian relief and to control hunger stalking the nation.

NANGO spokesperson Fambai Ngirande has blamed the disruption of NGO’s work on the broader deficits in democracy and respect for the rule of law as well as the limited commitment by some officials to adhere to international humanitarian standards and principles.
