Every New Attack Creates Another Family in Need

By JACKSON AMEH | Project Leader

The humanitarian crisis in Benue State is far from over.

Even as GoGreen continues to support displaced families through our Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria project, fresh waves of violence are creating new victims and deepening the crisis. In July 2026, gunmen attacked the Otukpo-Nobi community. Police confirmed eight deaths and five injuries; however, residents and local officials reported the true toll may be at least 18 lives lost. Homes were also set ablaze, leaving families with nothing.

Just a few months before, in April 2026, tragedy struck again. Seventeen civilians were killed in an attack on the Mbalom community, Gwer West.

Behind every statistic is a story:

A mother grieving the loss of her home.
A child facing hunger and uncertainty about the next meal.
A farmer unable to return to the land that once sustained his family.
An elderly person left wholly dependent on humanitarian aid.

Each new attack stretches the already limited resources available, making it even harder to meet the needs of displaced families.

Through your generous support, GoGreen provides:

Nutritious food
Hygiene supplies
Safe water
Sleeping materials
And other essential assistance to the most vulnerable households

But we cannot do this alone. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

If you have supported us before, thank you for your compassion. If you are able to give again, your help will bring hope, safety, and sustenance to another family in urgent need. Please stand with displaced families in Benue. Together, we can offer relief and restore hope when they need it most.
