EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 18—24 June 2014

IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia  

GENERAL OVERVIEW  387,131  South  Sudanese  asylum  seekers  have  fled  to neighboring  countries  since  conflict  broke  out  in mid‐December 2013. Ethiopia has  taken  the  largest number of  these  refugees  (more  than  147,040  registered  since the  outbreak),  according  to  UNHCR.  Most  of  the refugees  arrived  in  Gambella,  Ethiopia  through  the Pagak, Akobo‐Tergol and Burbiey border entry points.   IOM Special Liaison Office (SLO) has relocated a total of 134,558  refugees  to  Pugnido,  Leitchuor,  Bonga,  Kule1 and Kule2 refugee camps as of 24 June 2014.   In  this  reporting  period,  6,329  refugees  have  been relocated  from  Akobo,  Burbiey  and  Pagak  by  boats, buses  and  a helicopter  to Kule  camp 2.  So  far  in  June, 20,669  refugees  have  been  relocated  to  Kule  camp. 13,501 were relocated from Burbiey, 5,673 from Pagak, 1,476  from Akobo and 19  (relocated by air) to Leichour camp.   Burbiey  still  registers  the  highest  number  of  influx followed by Pagak and Akobo respectively.  

♦ IOM Special Liaison Office (SLO) has relocated a total of 134,558 refugees  to Pugnido, Leitchuor, Bonga, Kule1 and Kule2  refugee camps as of 24 June 2014.  

♦ In this reporting period, 6,329 refugees have been relocated from Akobo,  Burbiey  and  Pagak  by  boats,  buses  and  a  helicopter  to Kule camp 2.

Page 3: IOM response to #SouthSudan crisis in Ethiopia (18-24 June 2014)

IOM  has  continued  to  provide refugees  with  water  during travel.  The  Administration  for Refugees  and  Returnee  Affairs (ARRA)  is  assisting  in  the provision of high energy biscuits during travels.   Due  to  poor  road  conditions, Matar  way  station  has  been established  in 7  June. After  the setup of Matar way station IOM sped up the relocation and was able  to  transport  all  the refugees from Burbiey. IOM has relocated  over  3,873  refugees from  Burbiey  and  1,998  from Pagak since June 16. As a result of  this effort,  there  is  currently no backlog of refugees at either of  the  major  entry  points (Burbiey and Pagak).  The Burbiey  to Matar boat  ride takes approximately four hours. The route from Matar to Kule 2 camp (which continues the next day)  takes  approximately  five hours  by  bus.  IOM  has  started movement  from Akobo directly to Matar as of 19 June. For this relocation,  boats  are  boarding at  6:00  AM  and  reach destination  (docking  point)  at 5:00  PM,  from  there  the refugees are transported to the Matar way station shelter.  Leitchuor  and  Kule  1  camps have  surpassed  their  capacity. Kule  Camp  2’s  location  makes the  site more  advantageous  to avoid  flooding  during  the current rains.  Relocation  of  vulnerable refugees  by  a UNHCR‐provided helicopter  has  continued  with 632  individuals  transported  up to  24  June.  The  airlifts  are conducted  from  Akobo/Tergol to  Nyinyang  —  Leithchuor. Individuals  judged  not  fit  to 

travel  by  boat/road  are  being transported via helicopter.   Challenges  • The  poor  road  conditions 

has  greatly  affected  the relocation exercise  

 • Preference  by  the  bus 

drivers  to  work  only  in Pagak  has  led  to  fewer buses going to Matar  

 • Limited  reception  capacity 

causing limited movement.   • Heavy  rains have made  the 

relocation of  refugees  from Burbiey challenging.  

 • Unavailability  of  fuel  has 

added to the challenges.   Camps  Kule  Camp  2  (which  has  an estimated  total  capacity  of 30,000)    has  started  taking  a limited  number  of  refugees  as of 17 May.   Women and Children  Women account for 80 % of the adult  population  and  children 

account  for  70%  of  the  total number  of  South  Sudanese refugees arriving in Ethiopia.    Pre‐departure Health Assessment  IOM  SLO’s  Health  Unit  is coordinating on health referrals and  care  with  the  Ministry  of Health,  WHO,  UNHCR,  UNFPA, IFRC, UNICEF,  IMC,  ARRA,  ACF, MSF‐F  as  well  as  regional hospitals.   Partnerships and Coordination 

IOM  closely  collaborates  with ARRA, UNHCR and humanitarian partners  on    the  ground  to respond to this emergency. IOM has  received    funding  from UNOCHA–CERF,  UNHCR,  PRM and  is  under  discussion  with other donors.   Valuable support from:  

• Ethiopian Government • UNHCR • CERF • PRM
