Aid workers are concerned that Zimbabwe's "desperate" situation may get even worse after the government banned the distribution of food aid.
Some four million people - Zimbabwe to face presidential run-off vote ...
Pakistan frees top militant leader ... a third of the population - rely on aid after poor harvests and an economic crisis.
"Its going to make things absolutely desperate," Christian Aid's Judith Melby told the BBC.
She says the ban could be a way to make sure there are no aid workers in rural areas to witness political violence.
News of the ban came as US and British diplomats were detained and reportedly threatened in northern Zimbabwe on Thursday.
They said they were investigating reports of political violence ahead of the 27 June presidential run-off.
But the government says they addressed an opposition rally.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) says there is a state-sponsored campaign of violence against its activists ahead of the election, which has forced thousands to flee their homes and left at least 65 people dead.
Allies of President Robert Mugabe say the scale of the violence has been exaggerated, while blaming much of it on the MDC.
Hearly Mayer, from Adventist Development and Relief Agency (Adra) International, said he was very concerned for the health and well-being of the people of Zimbabwe.
He said that Adra was giving a morning meal to 7,000 children in the Makoni district of eastern Zimbabwe, which would now have to stop.
He said that some of these children only went to school because of the free meal.
The government has accused some aid groups of campaigning for the opposition and has said they should re-apply for accreditation, and promise not to get involved in politics.
