Zimbabwe: ICRC supports impoverished rural populations
Years of economic and political strife have taken a severe toll on the people of Zimbabwe, particularly those living rural areas. The ICRC is providing the most vulnerable with food and household items, and helping improve access to water and health care facilities.

The work of the ICRC involves enabling family members separated by armed conflicts in countries of the region to restore contact. Separated family members can contact their loved ones through Red Cross messages collected and distributed by the ICRC with the assistance of national Red Cross societies.
