London - Britain is boosting aid to Zimbabwe to help tackle a cholera emergency, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Thursday, denouncing President Robert Mugabe as leader of a "failed state".

"Mugabe's failed state is no longer willing or capable of protecting its people.

"Thousands are stricken with cholera, and must be helped urgently," he said in a statement released by his office.

"The international community's differences with Mugabe will not prevent us doing so - we are increasing our development aid, and calling on others to follow suit."
