Swarm of locusts make their way to Morocco

A swarm of locusts, which have spread through Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria, are making their way toward Morocco’s borders, prompting the Kingdom to raise its alert level according to government friendly news source Hespress on April 5th.

This response comes amid growing concerns about the impact of locusts on agriculture, a vital sector for the national economy.

The sector is the livelihood of millions of Moroccans, and reports have highlighted the insect’s ability to destroy crops at an alarming rate.
