Locust invasion in down town Fianaratsoa, Madagascar

Locust swarmed many regions of Madagascar and even a few of its cities. This disaster comes as a result of the humid conditions [2][fr] that remained after cyclone Haruna's landing. The FAO states that 60% of rice production [3] will be affected by the invasion.
