in August 2023, desert locusts were mainly distributed in southwestern Yemen, affecting vegetation areas of 32.7 thousand hectares. In September 2023, desert locusts were mainly distributed in western Red Sea coastal areas and inland regions, impacting vegetation areas of 35.9 thousand hectares; and desert locusts were also mainly distributed in northwestern Somalia, causing vegetation damage to 12.0 thousand hectares. It is expected that in the next two months, the rainfall along the Red Sea coast will be abundant, providing favorable conditions for the survival and reproduction of desert locusts. Swarms from inland Yemen will migrate towards the Red Sea coast, leading to an increase in the population of desert locusts along the Red Sea coast. Meanwhile, in northwestern Somalia, reduced rainfall is unfavorable for the survival of desert locusts. The locust swarms will migrate to the western coast of the Gulf of Aden and engage in small-scale breeding, leading to an increase in locust numbers along the Gulf of Aden coast. This period is the main harvesting season for crops in Yemen, as well as the main planting and growing seasons for crops in Somalia. It is still necessary to pay continuous attention to the dynamics of the desert locust disaster to prevent losses to agricultural and pasture production.
