In addition, 173 churches were burned to the ground and 75,000 people were displaced.In the states of Plateau and Bauchi, more than 1,000 widows and 9,000 fatherless or orphaned children were left without hope as a result of the massacres.

Open Doors, an international Christian ministry that supports and strengthens persecuted believers, is delivering relief aid, offering trauma counseling, providing Bibles and rebuilding churches for suffering Christians.
