TOKYO/NEW DELHI -- Locust infestations are causing massive damage to farm crops in East Africa, India and Pakistan, prompting the United Nations to warn of a "humanitarian crisis" resulting from the food shortage.
About 12 million people in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya are coping with a food crisis, reports the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization. The Somalian government declared a state of emergency last month while Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in the same month invoked a national emergency to protect crops and farmers.
