Harare - Sweden Thursday announced a US$10 million aid package for Zimbabwe to help the country tackle humanitarian problems.
The Southern African country is facing severe food shortages, rampant cholera and other diseases and lack of clean water.
Most schools and hospitals have also closed due to lack of funds to pay workers.

The Nordic country, together with most European countries, suspended aid to Zimbabwe several years ago over human rights concerns.
But after the unity government was formed in February, a number of these countries have started to re-engage Zimbabwe.
