Jordan bracing for devastating desert locust swarms



End Of Days News


AMMONNEWS - Jordan and neighboring countries are bracing this week for an invasion of desert locust swarms moving eastward from Egypt, estimated at over 30 million locusts.

The locusts originated from breeding that has been in progress since November in southeast Egypt, moving north along the Red Sea Coast, and reaching Cairo on Saturday, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization FAO announced.


The locusts reached Cairo by flying on warm southerly and southeasterly winds associated with a low pressure system over the central Mediterranean.
