Najezda skakavaca u Istočnoj Africi

Zemlje istočne Afrike bore se s najezdom pustinjskih skakavaca, koji postaju prehrambena prijetnja, rekla je u petak radna skupina međunarodnih organizacija koje se bave sigurnošću prehrane (FSNWG). Najezda, za koju UN-ova Organizacija za prehranu i poljoprivredu (FAO) kaže da je najgora u 25 godina, mogla bi dovesti do gladi ako se hitno ne spriječi. Regija Istočna Afrika, koja je iscrpljena sušama, poplavama i sukobima, već doživljava visok stupanj nestašice hrane, s 19 milijuna ljudi na rubu gladi. Najezda skakavaca, koji lete u nekontroliranim rojevima, znatno će pogoršati situaciju, rekao je FSNWG. Pustinjski skakavac jedan je od najopasnijih nomadskih kukaca na svijetu, a roj veličine jednog četvornog kilometra može pojesti hrane koju bi pojelo 35.000 ljudi u jednom danu, upozorio je UN-ov Ured za koordinaciju humanitarne pomoći (OCHA).
