10. To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent assessment he has made of the humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe. (158526)

The humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe is deteriorating. An estimated 4.1 million people will need food aid by year end. Malnutrition has reached emergency levels in places. Urban water and sanitation collapse is causing disease outbreaks. HIV/AIDS remains rife.
