Avatar

Swarms of locusts are powering through and Saudi authorities have been working hard to combat them.

The swarms arrived this weekend and so far have predominately affected both the South West Coast and Eastern parts of the country.

According to Arab News, farms did not experience significant damage as the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture worked hard to exterminate them.

Footage of the locusts on the Dammam Expressway is going viral

Similar locust swarms have travelled across the Middle East, entering Yemen, Oman, Kuwait, and into Africa, into Somalia and Ethiopia.
