UN: Zim has "complex" emergency... must prevent black babies from being born

LINK

With a United Nations report out today saying the Zimbabwean Government has evicted 700,000 people from urban housing, the UN humanitarian aid chief said the country's emergency is complex and also includes high unemployment, widespread food insecurity and 25 per cent of the population living with HIV/AIDS.

DUH...you forgot to mention the drought, and the fact that the confiscated white farms are no longer being run by anyone, meaning the surplus food by large farms no longer exists...

Giving a news briefing at the UN complex in Geneva, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland said that while the Zimbabwean authorities believed the urban evictions were improving the towns and cities, no alternative plans had been made for those being removed from their "improvised homes," leading to a human tragedy.

Hello......concrete HIV clinics are not "improvised homes"...
Of course, this is the same Jan Egeland who ridiculed the USA for not giving enough to the UN for tsunami victims...at a time when the US and Australian helicopters and aircraft carriers were the only outside people giving aid....(much local aid was given in countries like India and Thailand, but few reporters noticed). (the UN took a month to send aid).

In addition, millions were experiencing food insecurity, (AKA STARVATION) 70 per cent of the 13 million population was unemployed and 1 million children were AIDS orphans, he said. ...

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance, which he heads, said UNICEF's assistance to evicted Zimbabweans has included 42,000 water purification tablets, 10,000 blankets and 2.5 tons of soap.

OH, I'm impressed...with between 100 000 and 500 000 displaced by Mugabe, and with a couple million people in rural areas who are facing "food insecurity" miles from any reporter, one is happy for this drop in the bucket...but keep reading: You will see that the UN has it's priorities straight...

The WFP has redirected 1.4 tons of food and the International Organization for Migration has distributed more than 40,000 blankets and other supplies, OCHA said. The UN Population Fund has provided reproductive health materials and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees ) was helping 2,500 refugees in Tongogara Camp, as well as aiding refugees and asylum-seekers who have been arrested, it said.

Translation: we helped 2,500 refugees by giving them birth control pills and free abortions...must get our priorities straight...the UN did the same in Kosovo and Bosnia, but at least they could justify it because of the widespread rape...but one wonders about their priorities here....
