EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 17-23 September 2014
IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia
GENERAL OVERVIEW The number of refugees in Ethiopia has surpassed 635,956 individuals, with the number increasing on a daily basis due to the current inux from South Sudan. The South Sudanese popula�on is now the largest popula�on group, with over 250,652 individuals. From this total 189,156 crossed into Ethiopia since the most recent conict broke out in December 2013 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 172,098 refugees in Gambella and 2,570 in Benishangul‐Gumuz since the conict broke out. During this repor�ng period, IOM has evacuated a total of 496 refugees who have entered from South Sudan to Ethiopia (365 ‐ Burbiey entry point in Gambella Region and 131 ‐ Abrahamu in Benishangul‐Gumuz Region). The average arrival rate of South Sudanese refugees into the Gambella region has dropped to 122 persons with the commencement of rains in various loca�ons in the region. The number of South Sudanese refugees that IOM has evacuated, compared to previous periods, has declined due to the rain, camp ooding, stalled reloca�ons to Okugu camp in Dima and an ongoing serach for alterna�ve camp loca�ons.
1
• Due to heavy rain, road access was affected by ooding. 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: 172,098 from
IOM and partners have been advised to maintain a strong presence in Dima, Leitchour, Matar and Nip Nip for con�nuous emergency service delivery. Permanent investment in Leitchour has however, been discouraged.
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.
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�ons.
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 Dima 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 soon 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�ons 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.
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 in terms of moving construc�on materials.
IOM is also facilita�ng refugee movement from Assosa in the Regional State of Benishangul‐Gumuz. As of 23th September, 2,570 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.
