The rapid infestation of locusts has lead many to fear for their food security.
Senior locust forecasting officer at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation warned the impact there could be long term complications from the swarms across the globe.
He said: “The current locust outbreak is the biggest in 25 years in Ethiopia and Somalia, 26 years in India and 70 years in Kenya.”

Climate scientist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology also explained how climate change played a key role in the severity of the swarms.
He said: “The outbreak started after heavy amounts of rains over east Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
“Heavy rain triggers the growth of vegetation in arid areas where desert locusts can then grow and breed.
“On top of that, the rising temperature due to global warming made the Western Indian Ocean particularly warm.”
