"In February 2014, Zimbabwe's immense Tokwe-Mukorsi Dam basin flooded following heavy rains. President Robert Mugabe immediately declared the floods a national disaster and appealed to the international community for US$20 million to help relocate and provide humanitarian assistance to the victims. The Zimbabwe army and the Civil Protection Unit relocated over 20,000 people from the flooded area to Chingwizi camp on Nuanetsi Ranch ... . Six months later, in August 2014, the government shut down the camp and coerced the displaced to accept one-hectare sites (much less than the five-hectare sites initially promised) in another part of the ranch through the use of violence, harassment, and, in some cases, restricting access to water, food, and other essentials. In their new location, the flood victims are even more destitute, unable to build homes or grow crops of their choice due to ongoing disputes about the title of the land. [This report] documents the human rights issues related to the dam project. ... The report also explores the government's misuse of humanitarian aid to coerce flood victims to accept official resettlement plans."--Back cover.
