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
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.
