This handout picture released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)shows a member of Kenya's NYS -National Youth Service- sprays pesticides in an area infested with hopper bands of desert locust in Lokichar, Turkana County, Kenya on June 8, 2020.The National Youth Service -NYS- is an organisation under the Government of Kenya with the purpose of training and mentoring Kenya's youth through paramilitary, regimentation and technical training. NYS has been an active party in the fight against desert locust in the East African country.An increasing number of second-generation immature swarms of desert locust continue to form in northwest Kenya. The desert locust upsurge could have devastating consequences in already vulnerable regions, potentially causing large-scale crop damage and threatening food security in countries affected by recurrent drought, conflict, high food prices, as well as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The Horn of Africa is facing the worst desert locust crisis in over 25 years, and the most serious in 70 years for Kenya. "The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Government of Kenya’s (GoK) have joined efforts as part of its action plan aimed at boosting ground and aerial surveillance on Desert Locusts. FAO has supported governments in scaling up control activities on the fight against Desert Locusts while launching an urgent appeal to support and contain the upsurge and anticipate devastating impacts on livelihoods and food security." - RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "LUIS TATO/FAO/AFP " - NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS / AFP / FAO / LUIS TATO / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "LUIS TATO/FAO/AFP " - NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS
