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).
1
• 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.
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.
