KENYA 2020. FAO Desert locust invasion response campaign

04 April 2020, Seren village, close to South Horr, Samburu County, Kenya - Local Samburu Morans warriors guide spraying teams to the areas where hopper bands roost or feed. The desert locust upsurge continues to remain alarming, particularly in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, where it poses an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods. This represents an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods because it coincides with the beginning of the long rains and the planting season. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN is continuing its efforts to contain the Desert Locust upsurge in East Africa despite restrictions on the movement of personnel and equipment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
