EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 27 August –01 September 2014

IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia  

GENERAL OVERVIEW  From  the  total  of  over  445,889  South  Sudanese  refugees who  have  fled  into  neighbouring  countries,  187,906  have crossed into Ethiopia. This has made Ethiopia a country with the  highest  number  of  refugees  in  Africa  according  to UNHCR.   IOM has assisted 170,373 refugees in Gambella and 2,019 in Benishangul‐Gumuz  since  the  conflict  broke  out  in  mid‐December,  2013.  During  this  reporting  period,  IOM  has evacuated a  total of 632  refugees who have entered  from South  Sudan  to Ethiopia  (519  ‐ Akobo, Pagak  and Burbiey entry points  in Gambella Region)  and  (113  ‐ Abrahamu  in Benishangul‐Gumuz Region).   The  total  number  of  South  Sudanese  refugees  IOM evacuated  in  the month  of  August  is  8,151  from  Akobo, Burbiey, Matar  and  Pamdong  by  bus,  air,  boats  and  Land Cruisers to way stations and camps. Relocation of refugees from Matar way station to the new refugee camp, Nip Nip was delayed due to restrictions on the number to be moved per  day  and  shortage  of  Non  Food  Items.  However  the relocation resumed on 17th August. Movement from Akobo and Burbiey  to Matar way  station   has been ongoing until 

• In August, IOM has relocated a total of 8,151 refugees from Akobo, Burbiey, Matar, Pamdong by bus, air and boats to way stations and camps. 

• Camps such as Tierkedi and Leichour are experiencing flooding. Urgent relocation from existing camps is necessary to avoid an emergency within emergency. 

• Total number of refugees evacuated by IOM: 170,373 from Gambella and 2,019 from Benishangul‐Gumuz.

29 August . However,  heavy rains over the weekend (30‐31 August) has  caused  an  urgent  need  for immediate  evacuation  of refugees  from  Leichour, Nip Nip, Tierkedi  and Matar way  stations to  higher  grounds  as  the  above locations  have  been  completely flooded.   As a result, relocation movement to  Nip  Nip  could  no  longer  be maintained  as  a  camp  has  also experienced flooding.  Due  to  the  flooding  refugees  in Leichour,  have  abandoned  their shelters  and  moved  to  occupy safer  places/higher  grounds including  all  the  access  roads within the camp. 

As  camps  are  experiencing flooding,  an  urgent  evacuation from  existing  camps  to  new camps  at  higher  ground    is  also necessary  to  avoid  experiencing an emergency within emergency.   UNHCR  and  ARRA  are  also discussing with refugees in Pagak and  Pamdong  about  possible relocation  to  Okugu  camp  in Dimma.  IOM  is  on  standby  and ready to respond.   Hence,  a  taskforce  at  Leichour and  Gambella  level  has  been setup  specifically  to  handle  the current  emergency  in  Leichour, Nip Nip, Tierkedi and Matar. The taskforce  is  led  by  ARRA  and UNHCR.   IOM  is  also  facilitating  refugee movement  from  Assosa  in  the Regional  State  of  Benishangul‐Gumuz.  As  of  1st  September, 

there  has  been  2,019  refugees relocated  from  different  entry points in the Region.   During  this  reporting  period, there  has  been  refugee relocation  from  Abrahamu  entry point  to  Sostenya  camp.  IOM  is also  providing  pre‐departure medical  screening  to  identify refugees who may need medical  attention  and/or  referral  on arrival at the camp.  On  request  by  UNHCR,  IOM  is also  facilitating  camp‐to‐camp transportation  for  refugees  who may  want  to  relocate  to  a different camp for one reason or another.  Partnerships and Coordination IOM closely collaborates with the Government  of  Ethiopia’s  ARRA, UNHCR  and  humanitarian partners  on    the  ground  to 

respond  to  this  emergency.  IOM is  also  coordinating  health referrals  and  care  with  the Ministry of Health, WHO, UNHCR, UNFPA,  IFRC, UNICEF, WFP,  IMC, ARRA,  ACF,  MSF‐F  as  well  as regional hospitals.  

Challenges  • Limited  reception  capacity 

resul t ing   in   l imited movement.  

 • Heavy  rains  flooding  the
