Zimbabweans try to maintain their cheer whilst struggling for aid

The Central Methodist Church in Joburg, South Africa

There are over 3500 people currently staying in the Central Methodist Church building and the number is still heaping up as the UN is providing transport for the zimbabweans from Messina (just across from the border) daily. So the number is about 3600, with about 35% being children and another 25% being pregnant women. The rest are men. They are being fed twice a week. Over 1000 people
are also sleeping outside the building due to the unavailability of space
...they dont have blankets they just sleep on the pavements
