Food Shortages Cause Desperation Across Zimbabwe

NHLEKIYANA, ZIMBABWE - MARCH 22: Rapson Sibanda, age 76, walks through the countryside carrying a container for corn donations while passing through the village of Nhlekiyana March 22, 2008 in central Zimbabwe. Since his small sustinance farm failed due to heavy rains two months ago, he said he has been walking the countryside in a daily search for food for him and his three dependants. With the decline of Zimbabwe's commercial farming system, many people now rely on crops grown on their small plots of land to feed themselves. Zimbabwe's land reform of the past decade has proven disasterous for the economy, and many people now rely on international food donations to feed their families. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
