Version 0 of 1.

Some 200 people are seeking refuge at the US embassy in the Zimbabwe capital, Harare, says the US ambassador, James Mcgee.

According to the Associated Press, riot police were seen at the embassy as well as people with bundles of possessions.

Mr McGee said embassy officials were working with humanitarian organisations to find accommodation for the group.

More than 300 opposition supporters who sought refuge at the South African embassy last week were taken to a camp.
