UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) Executive Director Carol Bellamy has arrived in Southern Africa to focus attention on the humanitarian crisis in the region, the agency said last Thursday.
Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe were "battling a lethal mix" of food shortages and HIV/AIDS, a UNICEF statement said. "About one in four adults in the six countries now live with HIV or AIDS," UNICEF added.
