FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Children in famine hit west Africa are eating locusts to survive as a food crisis worsens, World Vision Australia says.
The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation has issued an alert for northern Mali and Niger where swarms of locusts are expected to build in June.
Reports have also emerged that young children across the region are scavenging for locusts and insects to survive the worsening food crisis.
“We’ve begun hearing reports of young children hunting and surviving off insects as food rations in their village or community run dry,” World Vision Australia spokeswoman Anthea Spinks said on Sunday.
“These are heartbreaking stories of survival which highlight the plight of millions of children in west Africa.”
World Vision is trying to raise $60 million to provide aid to 1.1 million people across the region.
But the organisation says its efforts to respond to the crisis have been hampered by a funding shortfall.
The charity’s Australian arm has collected less than $250,000 through its West Africa Food Crisis Appeal, compared to $6 million raised last year for East Africa.
People can donate to the west Africa food crisis appeal at worldvision.com.au or by phoning 13 32 40.
