HARARE, Zimbabwe — An opposition leader said Sunday that violence has killed 10 people since last month’s disputed presidential election and 3,000 families have been forced from their homes.
Tendai Biti of the Movement for Democratic Change said key members of the opposition’s administration had been arrested along with more than 400 supporters.
Biti appealed to U.N. organizations in Zimbabwe, saying the situation had escalated into a humanitarian crisis.
“They should move as a matter of urgency. They should move because Zimbabwe is a war zone,” he told a news conference in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai claims he won the presidency and that the delay in reporting results is part of an attempt to steal the election by longtime President Robert Mugabe.
