Phantse abantu abazizigidi ezingama-55 bajamelene nokungakhuseleki kokutya kunye nesondlo eNtshona nakuMbindi Afrika ngexesha leenyanga ezintathu zonyaka obunzima ukusuka ngoJuni ukuya ku-Agasti, iNkqubo yoKutya yeHlabathi yeZizwe eziManyeneyo (WFP) watsho ngolwesihlanu.
Oku kunyuka kwezigidi ezine kwinani labantu abajongene nokunqongophala kokutya ngoku kulo mmandla.
I-Mali ijongene neyona meko imbi kakhulu - malunga ne-2,600 abantu apho kucingelwa ukuba bajongene nendlala enkulu-I-IPC yokuhlelwa kokutya kwesigaba sesi-5.funda umchazi wethu kwinkqubo IPC apha).
"Ixesha lokuthatha amanyathelo ngoku. Sifuna onke amahlakani aqinise, abandakanyeke, amkele kwaye aphumeze iinkqubo ezintsha zokuthintela imeko ukuba ingaphumeleli kulawulo ngelixa siqinisekisa ukuba akukho mntu ushiyekayo,” utshilo uMargot Vandervelden. I-WFP's UMlawuli obambeleyo weNgingqi weNtshona iAfrika.
Imiceli mngeni yezoqoqosho kunye nokungenisa elizweni
Idatha yakutshanje ibonisa ukuba ukudodobala kwezoqoqosho kuquka imveliso emileyo, ukuhla kwexabiso lemali, ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye nezithintelo zorhwebo ziye zandisa ingxaki yokutya eNigeria, eGhana, eSierra Leone naseMali.
Le mingeni yezoqoqosho kwakunye neendleko zamafutha kunye nezothutho, izohlwayo zebhodi yengingqi ye-ECOWAS kunye nezithintelo ekuhambeni kwemveliso ye-agropastoral, ibe negalelo ekwenyukeni okubukhali kwamaxabiso eenkozo ezisisiseko kuwo wonke ummandla - ukonyuka okungaphezulu kweepesenti ezili-100 kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, imveliso yeecereal kwixesha lezolimo lika-2023-2024 ibone intsilelo ye-12 yezigidi zeetoni ngelixa ukufumaneka kweesiriyeli kumntu ngamnye kuhlile ngeepesenti ezimbini xa kuthelekiswa nexesha lonyaka lezolimo lokugqibela.
Sithetha nje, iNtshona nakuMbindi Afrika ixhomekeke ekuthengeni impahla evela kumazwe angaphandle ukuze kwaneliswe iimfuneko zokutya zabemi, kodwa ubunzima bezoqoqosho buye banyusa iindleko zokungeniswa kwamanye amazwe.
UNksz Vandervelden weWFP uthe le miba ifuna a utyalo-mali olunamandla “kwizisombululo zokomelela kunye nezexesha elide kwikamva laseNtshona Afrika.”
Iihighs ezothusayo
Ukungondleki eNtshona nakuMbindi Afrika kunyuke kwaya kutsho kwinqanaba elothusayo I-16.7 yezigidi zabantwana abangaphantsi kweminyaka emihlanu abanengxaki yokungondleki.
Ngaphezu kwesibini esithathwini samakhaya atsala nzima ekufumaneni ukutya okunempilo kwaye abantwana abasibhozo kwabalishumi, abasusela kwiinyanga ezintandathu ukuya kwezingama-10 abatyi ukutya okuyimfuneko ekukhuleni nasekuphuhleni kwabo.
“Ukuze abantwana kwingingqi bafikelele kwisakhono sabo esipheleleyo, kufuneka siqinisekise ukuba intombazana nenkwenkwe nganye ifumana ukutya okunesondlo kunye nokukhathalelwa, uhlala kwindawo esempilweni nekhuselekileyo, kwaye unikwa amathuba okufunda afanelekileyo,” utshilo uGilles Fagninou UNICEF UMlawuli weNgingqi.
Iindawo ezisemantla eNigeria zikwajongene neemeko ezininzi zokungondleki kakhulu malunga neepesenti ezingama-31 zabasetyhini abaneminyaka eyi-15 ukuya kwengama-49.
UNksz Fagninou wachaza ukuba ukomeleza "imfundo, impilo, amanzi kunye nogutyulo, ukutya kunye neenkqubo zokukhusela uluntu," kunokuphumela kwiiyantlukwano ezihlala zihleli kubomi babantwana.
Izisombululo ezizinzileyo
Ii-arhente ze-UN uMbutho woKutya nezoLimo (FAO), I-UN yeNgxowa-mali yaBantwana i-UNICEF kunye ne-WFP, ibiza oorhulumente belizwe, imibutho yamazwe ngamazwe, imibutho yoluntu kunye necandelo labucala, ukuseka izisombululo ezizinzileyo zokuqinisa nokuxhasa ukhuseleko lokutya kunye nokwandisa imveliso yezolimo.
Ezi zisombululo kufuneka kwakhona zinciphise iziphumo ezibi zokungazinzi kwezoqoqosho, batsho.
Kukwakho nolindelo lokuba oorhulumente namacandelo abucala kufuneka badibane ukuze baqinisekise ilungelo loluntu lokufumana ukutya kumntu wonke.
I-UNICEF kunye ne-WFP iceba ukwandisa iinkqubo zesizwe zokukhusela uluntu kwi-Chad naseBurkina Faso, njengoko izigidi zabantu baseSenegal, eMali, eMauritania naseNiger baye baxhamla kwiinkqubo ezinjalo.
Ukongeza, iFAO, ingxowa-mali yophuhliso lwezolimo IFAD, kunye ne-WFP baye basebenzisana kuyo yonke i-Sahel ukwandisa "imveliso, kunye nokufikelela ekutyeni okunesondlo ngeenkqubo zokwakha ukomelela."
UGqr Robert Guei, i-FAO Sub-Regional Coordinator kwi-West Africa kunye ne-Sahel, uthe xa kuphendulwa ezi meko zokungakhuseleki kokutya kunye nesondlo, kubalulekile ukukhuthaza nokuxhasa imigaqo-nkqubo eya kukhuthaza "ukwahlukahlukana kwezityalo, izilwanyana kunye nezilwanyana kunye nezityalo kunye nezilwanyana. imveliso yasemanzini kunye nokulungiswa kokutya kwasekhaya”.
Uthe oku "akubaluleki nje kuphela ekuqinisekiseni ukutya okunempilo, okufikelelekayo unyaka wonke, kodwa kwaye ngaphezu kwayo yonke into ukukhusela i-biodiversity, amandla okunciphisa impembelelo yokutshintsha kwemozulu, kunye ngaphezu kwako konke ukulwa namaxabiso aphezulu okutya kunye nokukhusela ubomi babantu abachaphazelekayo”.
