EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 13 – 19 August 2014

IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia  

GENERAL OVERVIEW  From  the  total  of  over  443,129  South  Sudanese  refugees who  have  fled  into  neighbouring  countries,  185,235  have crossed  into  Ethiopia.  This    has made  Ethiopia  a  country with the highest number of refugees  in Africa according to UNHCR.   IOM has assisted 167,027 refugees in Gambella and 1,870 in Benishangul‐Gumuz  since  the  conflict  broke  out  in  mid‐December,  2013.  During  this  reporting  period,  IOM  has moved  a  total  of  785  refugees  who  have  entered  from South  Sudan  to Ethiopia  (714  ‐ Akobo, Pagak  and Burbiey entry  points  in  Gambella  Region)  and  (61  ‐  Abrahamu  in Benishangul‐Gumuz Region).   Since  the  beginning  of  August,  IOM  has  been  moving refugees  from  Pagak  to  Pamdong  Transition  Station (located 5km away  from Kule 2/Tierkedi) until  they are  to be  relocated  to  Nip‐Nip  Camp  which  was  under construction. As of 14 August, Nip Nip has started receiving refugees. Hence, IOM has started the movement to Nip Nip.  

• As of 14 August, IOM has started moving refugees to Nip Nip. • Camps which are located at lower elevation like Kule 1 (Tierkedi), 

and Lietchour are also facing flooding.   • Total number of refugees moved by IOM: 167,027 from Gambella 

and 1,870 from Benishangul‐Gumuz.

Page 4: IOM #SouthSudan crisis in Ethiopia (19 August 2014)

However,  the  camp  is  facing shortage  of  NFIs  and  only  307 individuals    have been  relocated to Nip Nip. Pamdong way station has  reached  its  maximum capacity  (3,000  refugees)  as  of 8th of August. There has been a need  to  improve  reception capacity.   It  is  to  be  recalled  that  IOM’s relocation  to  Kule  2  has  been halted  following  the  camp reaching its capacity at the end of July.   UNHCR  and  the  Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA)  have  been  working  on setting  up    two  camps  (Okugu and  Nip  Nip)  to  accept  the refugees  since  the  beginning  of August.    Okugu  camp,  located  in  Dima town,  is  hosting  6,000  refugees who  have  crossed  over  Raad entry  point.  Following  remaining camps  surpassing  their  capacity, ARRA  and  UNHCR  have  been working  on  expanding  Okugu’s capacity  to  accommodate  up  to 35,000.   Okugu  camp, which  is  six  square kilometres,  is  located  542km from Pagak, 609km  from   Matar and  439km  from  Gambella. Hence,  the  refugees  relocated from Pagak to Okugu will have to stay  over  night  on  the way  at  a Transit  Station  in  Macha.  In consultation  with  ARRA  and UNHCR,  IOM has  setup a Transit Station at Macha.    In  the  mean  time,  IOM  will relocate  refugees  to  the  much closer  Nip‐Nip  camp,  which  is 

closer  to  both Matar  and  Pagak (40km  from  Matar  and  273km from  Pagak)  and  is  only  two kilometres  from Leitchour Camp. Okugu  is  also  expected  to  start receiving    refugees  by  Friday  22 August.    As  new  camps  are  being constructed, backlogs of refugees awaiting  relocation  have continued to grow at Pagak entry point and Matar Transit Shelters.   Transit Shelters, which were built to accommodate  refugees  for an overnight  stay  such  as  Matar, have  also  been  filled.  Matar Transit  Shelters  has  been constructed  to  accommodate only 5,000. However,  it has been accommodating 6,000 more than it was intended to accommodate. To make maters worse,  the Baro River  is  overflowing  to  Burbiey and Matar way station. The rising water  levels  have  also  reached the  Pagak  entry  point  as  well forcing  refugees  to  head  to  the elevated dry lands.    Camps  which  are  located  at lower  elevation  like  Kule  1 (Tierkedi), and Lietchour are also facing flooding.    IOM  has moved  a  total  of    968 vulnerable  refugees on a UNHCR helicopter, as of 19 August. Those transported  include  the very old, lactating  mothers,  sick  children and the disabled, who have been judged not fit to travel by bus or boat.  IOM  is  also  facilitating  refugee movement  from  Assosa  in  the Regional  State  of  Benishangul‐Gumuz. As of 19th August,  there 

has  been  1,870  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, 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  

Baro River making the stay at Burbiey,  Pagak  and  Matar challenging.  

 • Security  threats  have  made 

some  camps  in  Benishangul‐Gumuz inaccessible.  

 

IOM appreciates the invaluable support from the following donors and partners  whose support has enabled us reach out to those most in need:
