EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 23-29 July 2014
IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia
GENERAL OVERVIEW From the total of over 424,658 South Sudanese refugees who have fled into neighbouring countries, 176,313 have crossed into Ethiopia (according to UNHCR: 25 July). This makes Ethiopia the biggest receiving country of South Sudanese refugees. IOM has assisted 161,214 refugees in Gambella and 1,762 in Benishangul‐Gumuz since the conflict broke out in mid‐December, 2013. During this reporting period, IOM has moved a total of 2,073 refugees who have entered from South Sudan to Ethiopia Akobo and Burbiey entry points in Gambella Region and Abrahamu and Tongo in Benishangul‐Gumuz Region. The movements to Kule camp is still temporarily stopped following the camp reaching its capacity. As UNHCR and the Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA) are finalizing the construction of Pamdong camp (located 5km from Kule 2) and are setting up Nip‐Nip camp (2km from Leitchour Camp), backlogs of refugees are adding up at Pagak entry point (with over 8,000 asylum‐seekers) and Matar way station (with approximately 8,000 asylum‐seekers) awaiting relocation.
1
• As UNHCR and ARRA are finalizing the construction of new camps , backlogs of over 16,000 refugees are adding up at Pagak and Matar.
• Baro river is overflowing to Burbiey. Hence, IOM is moving refugees to Matar way station.
• Total number of refugees moved by IOM: 161,214 from Gambella and 1,762 from Benishangul‐Gumuz.
As the Baro river is overflowing to Burbiey, IOM has continued to move asylum‐seekers from Burbiey entry point to Matar way station. IOM has moved a total of 893 vulnerable refugees (on UNHCR helicopter), as of 29 July. 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. Recently arriving refugees at Akobo and Burbiey are being settled at Matar. With an ongoing influx of Burbiey and Pagak, there is a chance that the backlog will add up in Matar unless the relocation movement continues soon.
IOM is also facilitating refugee movement from Assosa in the Regional State of Benishangul‐Gumuz. A total of 1,762 refugees have been relocated until 29 July from different entry points in the region. Over the month of July alone, 421 refugees have been relocated from the different entry points in Benishangul‐Gumuz Region. At the beginning of the South Sudan crisis, there was a steady influx of refugees through nine entry points, namely: Kurmuk, Gizan, Gemed, Ashesheko, Tongo, Al‐Mahal, Abrahamu, Sostenya camp and Bamza. Six entry points have since been closed down due to insecurity and refugees are currently being processed from Abrahamu, Tongo and Bambasi. 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 challenging.
• Security threats have made
some camps in Benishangul‐Gumuz inaccessible.
Journey to Pagak Wecheir Kom is one of the few South Sudanese male asylum‐seekers who fled to Ethiopia after the conflict erupted in South Sudan. The 35 year‐old has been caught up in the war and has bullet wounds to show for it. When asked why he decided to migrate for refuge he rolls up his trousers and points to the scar that has left him limping. Wecheir limped for nine days, walking alone. The long distance and wet grass made the journey very tough for him. Explaining how he got to Pagak entry point he said, “Those nine days have been very tough to walk, the tall, cold grass was cutting through my wound and it was painful. Fortunately, I met others who gave me moral support and I made it here.” Wecheir says that the gunmen took his clothes when the conflict broke loose. “I am only left with this,” he points to his dirty, light blue t‐shirt and worn out trousers. Before joining the war, Wecheir was a farmer but after the war he joined the gun fight and was separated from his wife and five children. “I just got [to Pagak], so far I have not found anyone who can tell me where my family is. I have not seen anyone from my neighbourhood; only women and children that I met on the way. The reason why most men are not coming here is because they are involved in the war,” he said.
