According to the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security the food deficit in Tanzania is linked to the failure of short rains between August and November 2005 which account for 30% of annual harvests in the country. A Rapid Vulnerability Assessment carried out by the government, WFP, and NGOs in early February identified 564,000 of the total impacted population as being destitute and in need of free food distribution. To date, the government of Tanzania has not declared a national emergency but WFP and NGOs are concerned that government resources are insufficient to meet the urgent needs of this vulnerable population. The long rainy season is now expected between March and May, but if it fails or comes too late, the number of people needing food relief could go up. ACT member the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) is appealing for assistance to provide food relief to approximately 80,500 of the most destitute people in seven regions in rural Tanzania, to be distributed through its member churches the Anglican Church of Tanzania (ACT), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT), the African Inland Church of Tanzania (AIC) and the Mennonite Church of Tanzania (MEN) stationed across the country.
