5 Miserable Countries in the World

2. Zimbabwe

Hanke’s Annual Misery Index 2020 Score: 547

The major reason behind the sadness of the people of Zimbabwe is poverty. 62% of all the country’s citizens live below the poverty line, while a quarter of the population has no reliable means to obtain food. The ruling class of Zimbabwe has preyed on its people and has made them suffer for decades due to their irresponsible planning and mismanagement. The coronavirus pandemic has made the people’s condition even grimmer, as millions were left with inadequate food supplies after the infection spread in the country.
