The worst locust outbreak in 70 years descending upon East Africa is compounding an already dire food situation — worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Desert Locust is the world’s most dangerous migratory pest. Just a tiny swarm consumes the same amount of food in one day as 35,000 people. Without a swift intervention, almost five million people will be at risk of starvation this summer.
That is why your gift, tripled today, can be so critical for children and families around the world. »
The locusts are a devastating plague, especially for children. In crisis-affected countries, acute malnutrition is linked to nearly half of all deaths of children under the age of five. When children lack access to nutrient-dense foods, they lose immunity against diseases like COVID-19 and face problems with growing properly.
With your generous support, you can help us scale up our work to prevent widespread famine in East Africa and provide support where it is needed most. |
