EMERGENCY: LOCUST SWARMS DEVASTATE CROPS IN SIX HARD-HIT COUNTRIES

Friend -

Locust infestations have just hit two new districts in northern Uganda as they continue to cause tremendous damage in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, and Djibouti, and threaten even more countries in East Africa. The outbreak has been exacerbated by climate change. These swarms contain millions of the insects and are devastating farmlands, as one ton of locusts eats as much food in one day as 2,500 people. The swarms could continue to wreak havoc for months to come.

This invasion comes on the heels of a severe food crisis affecting more than 22 million people in these six countries. People are still recovering from recent drought, floods, or a devastating combination of both. If the infestation is not brought under control before the growing season begins next month, millions more could face severe hunger.

We need your help. People's livelihoods and lives are in danger - and right now, response efforts are underfunded.

Please, make an emergency donation today. Your contribution will help Oxfam and our partners protect the livelihoods and lives of thousands of people >>
