Locusts and leprosy are the quintessential biblical calamities, but few of us in the West have experienced either personally. In some parts of the world, they are far more familiar. In fact, right now, upwards of 13 million people in East Africa face famine as the result of locust swarms.
Swarms of locusts are overtaking parts of Eastern Africa causing many to recall the plague of locusts dropped on Egypt in the book of Exodus. The plague has grown so severe that many fear famine is near.
