BENUE: RESIDENTS GROAN AS WATER SCARCITY PERSISTS IN GUMA LGA

On our way I saw women and children gathered as you can see in the picture, I stopped to enquire and learnt they are here as from 3:00 am on a daily basis to get water from these pounds.

This is Gyemo Mbawa, Guma Local government Area of Benue State.

On this note we are begging on the relevant authority to come and rescue this people.
