Namibia plans to kill more than 700 wild animals, including elephants, zebras and hippos.

Animals set to be culled include 83 elephants, 30 hippos, 60 buffalo, 50 impala and 100 blue wildebeest.

Meat from other animals will also be distributed to those struggling with hunger, ministry says.

The aim of the program is to help alleviate the impacts of drought in the southwest African country.
