Zimbabwe Situation

I have an Aunt and Uncle that live in Zimbabwe ad reading the news of that country's troubles led me to send them a note asking how things were going. I got the following response today:

We got your message and we are sorry that you are worried about us. Before
when the news outside would reach us, we would tell you do not worry it is
not bad at all, but I can not say that any more. Things are really bad and
the supermarkits[sic] are empty, there is no bread no cooking oil, no rice no
soap no tooth paste no sugar and no nothing.We are alright for a while, we
have managed to get few things from Botswana, but when it finishes, we have
to see what happens. To-day after whole week of calling and going there and
using precious petrol, we managed to get two chickens, there is no meat or
chicken. What to do, I don't know, we carry on this way and hope that things
will improve by end of the year. I bake bread with the flour that we got
from Botswana. Petrol is just not there, Enayat catches bus to go to town or
go on teaching which he has been doing twice a week. Doreen, you remember
her Jamshid, is living in England, she send us some coupons from there to
get petrol to use only for teaching and we have to be very careful not to
use it for personal use, that is not easy since our petrol gage does not
work, but we are managing and trying. Life goes on, we both have our health
thank God, and I give Yoga lessens 3 times a week, we get vegetables which
is so far available, and we are mostly vegetarian now which can only be good
for us, what we get is very expensive and the money as you make it,
disappears.

Read more background about what's going on Zimbabwe. We're looking into what, if anything, can be sent to help those that can't get things like toothpaste. and flour.
