Near Goré, the refugee camps of Amboko, Gondjé, and Dosseye along the Pendé River have been home to refugees from the Central African Republic.[1][2] As of 2009, "in and around Gore, over 15,000 children ... [were] currently enrolled in the more than 25 schools supported by UNICEF. This includes more than 6,000 refugee pupils.[3] UN agricultural programs are helping the refugees move towards food self sufficiency.[4][5][6]

In April 2014, Chadian troops escorting a convoy of "the last 540 Muslim residents" of Bossangoa, Central African Republic to Goré, Chad were attacked by local militia as they passed through Boguila. Three people were wounded.[7]
