Devastating locust swarms continue to wreak havoc across east Africa and the Middle East in scenes described as “apocalyptic”.
Swarms of locusts have descended on Oman with footage showing what seems to be the floor moving after millions started crawling across the streets.
The spooky video taken by Dominic Abu Hanna shows a road covered in the small insects.
They all seem to be moving in the same direction which gives the impression that the floor is moving.
He claimed in his video – seen more than 4.5million times since it was posted on March 15 – that the insects were ants.
But journalist Hassan Hassan has since tweeted: “Omani authorities have responded to videos about a massive swarm of ‘ants’ circulated online, saying those are actually ‘small-size’ locusts.”
Locust swarms as big as 60km long have ravaged east Africa and the Middle East in recent weeks, destroying crops in areas already severely affected by food shortages.
Here is a video of the Locusts swarms that have been devastating Africa and the Middle East filmed between March 16th – 21st 2020.
