The Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA) has appealed to the United Nations to come to the state's rescue to stem the humanitarian crisis affecting internally displaced persons and internally displaced persons in over 14 camps in the state. and other humanitarian partners.
The appeal was made by BSEMA Director-General Sir James Iorupu during the monthly distribution of food and non-food relief items to internally displaced persons on Monday.
He expressed disgust at the dire situation, especially the lack of shelter in the new camps for displaced persons in Agagbe, Ichuwa and Anyin.
He disclosed that several camps in the state, including those in Ukum LGA, were overflowing with displaced persons fleeing fresh attacks from herdsmen in the area.
He said they occupied the premises of primary schools in the area, thereby disrupting students' academic studies and causing educational setbacks.
He said that the provision of such shelters would alleviate the hardships of internally displaced persons temporarily sheltering in such schools and ensure that affected children could return and continue their normal academic studies. He said it would happen.
He appreciated the efforts of NEMA and other international and local partners for various assistance in this crisis, and commended Governor Hyacinth Aria for providing logistical support, whose generosity led to the provision of food and non-food items. He added that he had directed assistance in the food sector. Food relief supplies will be shared between both the 14 old IDP camps in Ukum and the new IDP camps.
