EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 30 July –05 August 2014

IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia  

GENERAL OVERVIEW  From  the  total  of  over  431,043  South  Sudanese  refugees who  have  fled  into  neighbouring  countries,  180,054  have crossed into Ethiopia (according to UNHCR: 01 August). This  makes  Ethiopia  the  biggest  receiving  country  of  South Sudanese refugees.   IOM has assisted 162,345 refugees in Gambella and 1,780 in Benishangul‐Gumuz  since  the  conflict  broke  out  in  mid‐December,  2013.  During  this  reporting  period,  IOM  has moved  a  total  of  1,149  refugees who  have  entered  from South Sudan  to Ethiopia  (1,131  ‐ Akobo and Burbiey entry points  in Gambella Region) and (18  ‐ Abrahamu and Tongo in Benishangul‐Gumuz Region).   The movements to Kule camp 2 (now renamed Tierkedi) has remained halted  following  the  camp  reaching  its  capacity. However, as of 02 August IOM has started moving refugees from  Pagak  to  Pamdong  Transition  Station  (located  5km away from Kule 2/Tierkedi) until they are to be relocated to either Nip‐Nip or Okugu Camp which are being considered by  UNHCR  and  the  Administration  for  Refugee  and Returnee Affairs (ARRA).   

• A total of 14,500 refugees are still awaiting relocation from Pagak entry point and Matar way station.  

• Baro River is overflowing to Burbiey. Hence, IOM is  moving refugees to Matar way station. 

• Total number of refugees moved by IOM: 162,345 from Gambella and 1,780 from Benishangul‐Gumuz.

Page 4: IOM #SouthSudan crisis in Ethiopia (5 August 2014)

The  Pamdong  Transition  Station has  a  capacity  to  accommodate 3,000  refugees. With  over  1,000 refugees already  resettled  there, it is likely to fill up soon. IOM has been  restricted  to  the maximum transportation  of  500  refugees per day until  the  construction of camps is finalized.   Okugu  camp,  located  in  Dima town,  is  hosting  6,000  refugees who  have  crossed  over  Radd entry  point.  Following  existing camps  surpassing  their  capacity, ARRA  and  UNHCR  are  looking into  upgrading  Okugu  to accommodate  up  to  35,000 refugees.  Okugu  camp,  which  is six  square  kilometres,  is  located 542km  from  Pagak,  609km  from  Matar  and  439km  from Gambella.   Nip‐Nip,  however,  is  located much  closer  to  both Matar  and Pagak  (40km  from  Matar  and 273km  from  Pagak)  and  is  only two  kilometres  from  Leitchour Camp. Part of the land at Nip‐Nip has  already  been  cleared  while the  remaining,  needs  to  be cleared. Partners  are engaged  in setting  up  the  camp  with  the necessary  materials  and  it  is expected  to  be  finalized  sooner than Okugu.   When  finalized,  Nip‐Nip  will  be able  to  accommodate  25,000 refugees.  It  is expected  that Nip‐Nip will begin to receive refugees on Tuesday 12 August.   As  new  camps  are  being constructed, backlogs of refugees are  continuing  to  grow  at  Pagak entry   point   (with   an 

approximately  6,500  asylum‐seekers)  and Matar  way  station (with  approximately  8,000 asylum ‐seekers)   await ing relocation.   The Baro River  is  overflowing  to Burbiey  and  IOM  has  continued to  move  asylum‐seekers  from Burbiey entry point to Matar way station.   IOM  has moved  a  total  of    934 vulnerable refugees (on a UNHCR helicopter),  as  of  05  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.  Recently  arriving  refugees  at Akobo  and  Burbiey  are  being settled  at  Matar.  With  an  ongoing  influx  at  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.  As  of  5th  August,  there has  been  1,780  refugees relocated  from  different  entry points  in  the  region.  Over  the month  of  July  alone,  421 refugees were 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.  

   

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