Mkurugenzi wa Idara ya Maafa amefuatana na ujumbe wake kutathmini hali ya upungufu wa chakula wilayani Iringa na kujiridhisha na ugawaji wa msaada uliotolewa na serikali na kujua ni maeneo gani yanahitaji msaada zaidi.

Brigedia Jenerali Msuya anawahakikishia wananchi kuwa hakuna mwananchi atakayekufa kwa njaa.

Wakielezea hali halisi ya upungufu wa chakula wananchi wameishukuru serikali kwa kupelekea chakula lakini wakaomba kujengewa mabwawa ya umwagiliaji, maghala ya kuhifadhi chakula pamoja na mbegu zinazostahimili ukame.

Brigedia Jenerali Msuya na timu yake pia, wameshuhudia zoezi la ugawaji wa chakula kwa kaya zilizokumbwa na upungufu ukiendelea katika kijiji cha Igingilanyi na kusema kuwa serikali inatambua chakula hicho hakitoshelezi mahitaji yote.

Zaidi ya watu elfu 76 wilayani Iringa wanakabiliwa na upungufu wa chakula uliosababishwa na mvua chache zilizonyesha msimu uliopita.

 Wiki mbili iliyopita serikali ilitoa tani 200 kwa kaya zilizokubwa na njaa kutokana na ukame.
