More than half of Africa’s 54 countries have closed their land, air and sea borders to fight the spread of the coronavirus. Aid organizations fear the restrictions may stop or delay important assistance to the people. Africa now has more than 7,000 confirmed cases of COVID 19. The continent also has to deal with hunger, armed conflicts and swarms of crop destroying locusts.
