Canada announced on Wednesday it was sending an additional CAN$34,2-million (US$22,2-million) in humanitarian assistance to Southern Africa.
The money will be funneled through humanitarian groups working in the region.
Announcing the aid, International Cooperation Minister Susan Whelan said, “Many countries in the Southern African region — Angola, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland — are facing their worst crisis since the 1992 drought.”
