The Agriculture Ministry declared a state of disaster in Aswan on Thursday as swarms of desert locusts descend on Lake Nasser, the Egypt-Sudan border and the Eastern Desert.
Border guards sited the approaching locusts and notified ministry authorities in Hurghada, Halayeb, Shalateen, Abu Ramad and Sheikh al-Shazly.
Authorities will survey the reported areas to assess the situation and also survey other parts of the nation as a precautionary measure, the ministry announced.
