EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 10-16 September 2014

IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia  

GENERAL OVERVIEW  From  the  total  of  over  451,000  South  Sudanese  refugees who  have  ed  into  neighbouring  countries,  188,875  have crossed  into  Ethiopia  according  to  UNHCR.  Ethiopia  has con�nued to take the lead in accep�ng the highest number of refugees from South Sudan.   IOM has assisted 171,733 refugees in Gambella and 2,439 in Benishangul‐Gumuz  since  the  conict  broke  out  in  mid‐December,  2013.  During  this  repor�ng  period,  IOM  has evacuated a  total of 310  refugees who have entered  from South  Sudan  to  Ethiopia  (92  ‐  Burbiey  entry  point  in Gambella  Region  and  218  ‐  Abrahamu  in  Benishangul‐Gumuz Region).   In  comparison  to  previous  month,  the  number  of  South Sudanese  refugees  IOM  evacuated  during  this  repor�ng period has declined  as  camps  con�nue  to be ooded  and reloca�on  to  Okugu  camp  in  Dima  and    the  search  for alterna�ve camp is s�ll ongoing.  

IOM  and  partners  have  been  advised  to maintain  strong presence  in  Dimma,  Leitchour,  Matar  and  Nip  Nip  for con�nuous  emergency  service  delivery.  Permanent investment in Leitchour has however, been discouraged.  

IOM has taken part  in a consulta�ve and planning mee�ng with partners in early September 2014. It was stated that 

• Due to heavy rain, road access has been ooded. Hence, there is a need to explore the possibility of using water and air transport.  

• 62,809 refugees (Leitchour 47,122, Matar 7,581, Nip Nip 2,854, Pamdong 2,452 and Pagak 2,800) need to be relocated to new camps.  

• Total number of refugees evacuated by IOM: 171,733 from Gambella and 2,439 from Benishangul‐Gumuz.

Page 4: IOM #SouthSudan Crisis in #Ethiopia Report (10 - 16 September)

currently there are 62,809 refugees which need to be re‐relocated from camps and transit centres. From the total  number  of  refugees  awai�ng  reloca�on  to  new camps, 47,122 are  in Leitchour, 7,581  in Matar, 2,854 in  Nip  Nip,  2,452  in  Pamdong  and  2,800  in  Pagak. However,  the  nal  number  will  be  determined  a�er registra�on and verica�on exercise.  

It  was  jointly  communicated  by  ARRA/UNHCR  that previously relocated refugees to the above camps and all new arrivals from the three entry points of Burbiey, Akobo and Pagak need  to be  relocated  to alterna�ve camps, of which Okugu is one of the main op�on. 

However, Okugu  can  only  absorb  29,000  refugees  in addi�on  to  the  6,000  already  there.  Therefore,  the search  for  a  new  site  within  Dimma  and  the  en�re Gambella Region is top on the agenda.  

Plan of ac�on  for  the Dimma  reloca�on  is being ne‐tuned by UNHCR.  It  is hoped  that  this plan will guide and  direct  partners’  interven�ons  both  at  Dimma‐Okugu  and  the  respec�ve  camps,  way  sta�on  and entry points.  

IOM has devised an ac�on plan to start the reloca�on to  Okugu  camp  and  has  also  constructed  a  transit sta�on on the way there (at Geder around Macha). It is expected  that  the  reloca�on will  commence  on  24th September and IOM is on standby.  

However, at the moment IOM is faced with two major challenges to relocate the refugees to Okugu; a UNDSS security  restric�on due  to  reports of clan conict and bad  road  condi�on  following  the  heavy  rain.  IOM  is wai�ng  for a security clearance and a  road  inspec�on to start reloca�on to Okugu. 

Currently reloca�ons are only carried out  from Akobo to Matar and all other movements are restricted. IOM has set plans  to  relocate 220  refugees  from Akobo  to Matar in the coming week.  

Two  joint  missions  by  UNHCR,  ARRA,  Rural  Road Authority  and  IOM  were  assigned  to  assess  the Gambella‐Leitchour road condi�on and found out that currently  only  54  KMs  of  the  road  from Gambella  to Leitchuor  is accessible with  the  remaining part of  the road  completely  under  water,  including  the 

surrounding  grassland.  This  has  le�  no  possibility  of pumping  out  the  water  from  the  road  and  no possibility of opening bypass roads.  

IOM  has  also  started  the  construc�on  of  shelters  to assist  39,000  refugees  (7,800  households)  in  Kule refugee camp in Gambella to enhance protec�on from harsh weather  condi�ons  and  environment.  To  date, IOM  has  constructed  171  shelters.  However,  due  to heavy  rain  around  and  in  the  camp,  the  road  access has been a  challenge since Monday 8th September to move construc�on materials.    

IOM is also facilita�ng refugee movement from Assosa in the Regional State of Benishangul‐Gumuz. As of 9th September, 2,439  refugees have been  relocated  from different entry points in the Region.  

During  this  repor�ng  period,  there  has  been  refugee reloca�on  from  Abrahamu  entry  point  to  different  camps.  IOM  is  also  providing  pre‐departure  medical screening  to  iden�fy  refugees who may need medical  a�en�on and/or referral on arrival at the camp. 

On request by UNHCR, IOM is also facilita�ng camp‐to‐camp  transporta�on  for  refugees  who may  want  to relocate to a different camp for one reason or another.  

Partnerships and Coordina�on 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 coordina�ng  health  referrals  and  care  with  the Ministry  of  Health,  WHO,  UNHCR,  UNFPA,  IFRC, UNICEF,  WFP,  IMC,  ARRA,  ACF,  MSF‐F  as  well  as regional hospitals.  

Challenges  • Limited  recep�on  capacity  resul�ng  in  limited 

movement.   • Heavy rains ooding rivers make the stay at camps 

and  Burbiey,  Pagak  and  Matar  challenging.  The rain has also made roads inaccessible.  

 • Security  threats  have  made  some  camps  in 

Benishangul‐Gumuz inaccessible.   • Refugees’ concerns about reloca�on to Okugu.   

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