EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 19 November – 25 November 2014

IOM SLO Response to South Sudan Crisis in Ethiopia  

GENERAL OVERVIEW   Since  the  conflict  broke  out  in  December  2013,  the  total number  of  South  Sudanese  refugees  crossing  into neighbouring  countries has  surpassed  467,009  individuals. Ethiopia has received the highest number of refugees with a total  of  193,922  individuals  crossing  its  border  and  the Ethiopian  borders  remain  open  to  asylum  seekers.  The South Sudanese refugee population has become the largest refugee  group  in  Ethiopia,  with  more  than  250,528 individuals  as  of  October  2014,  surpassing  the  Somali refugee population according to UNHCR.   

IOM  has  assisted  a  total  of  177,507  refugees:  174,908  in Gambella  and  2,599  in  Benishangul‐Gumuz  since  the conflict broke out. Since the last update, IOM has evacuated a total of 1034 refugees in Gambella Region. No movement has b  taken place  from Benishangul‐Gumuz Region during this  reporting  period.  Since  early  November,  the  average number of South Sudanese  refugees crossing  into Ethiopia per day is 100 persons.  

As  of  November  17,  IOM  has  resumed  transportation  assistance to South Sudanese refugees stranded by heavy

rain and flooding in Matar. The refugees are relocated to  Fugnido  refugee  camp  in  the  Gambella  Region  of Western  Ethiopia,  300  kms  away,  following  an agreement  between  Ethiopia’s  Administration  for Refugee  and  Returnee  Affairs  (ARRA)  and  UNHCR.  A multi‐agency  response  led  by  Administration  for Refugee  and  Returnee  Affairs  (ARRA)  and  UNHCR  is providing  protection  and  registration  to  the  refugees to the current relocation from Matar to Fugnido.  

The  operation  started  with  the  movement  of  117 refugees by boat  and bus  from Matar  to  Fugnido  via the Itang way station on November 17.  Within a week, the  total number of refugees relocated has surpassed 1,320. The two‐day journey involves an overnight stop in  Itang, where  IOM, UNHCR  and WFP  provide  food, water,  sleeping  mats  and  blankets.  During  this reporting  period,  a  total  of  1,034  refugees  were relocated on this route.  

From  the  total  of  relocated  refugees,  56  vulnerable refugees who needed medical assistance were airlifted with an  IOM medical escort onboard by a helicopter, provided by UNHCR. 

As  the  road  from  Matar  to  Gambella  is  still  not accessible,  IOM  is using  the alternative  route by boat via  Itang  way  station.  During  the  first  week  of transportation,  the  total  number  of  hours  the  boats took from Matar to Itang way station was 15 hours due to various challenges.  IOM has been working with the boat owners  to address  the challenges and  to  reduce the  time.  In  addition  to  ensure  the  timely  departure IOM has constructed a docking station at Matar to cut the  delay  in  loading  of    luggage  and  introduced  a system  where  passengers  load  their  luggage  a  day before departure. As  the  refuges are  scattered at  the Matar way station, mobilizing  all passengers on time is also another challenge. IOM is working on construction of  a  hangar  to  keep  the  passengers  for  an  overnight stay  before  the  departure  day  to  speed  up  the boarding  process  and  start  the  journey  early  in  the morning.  

Since  August  2014,  IOM  has  been  on  standby  to resume the relocation of up to 15,000 South Sudanese refugees stranded in and around Matar, which is close to the river border with South Sudan and has become uninhabitable due to heavy rains.  

There  are  still more  than 60,000  refugees  in need of 

relocation  from  various  camps  and  transit  centres within  Gambella  Region.  ARRA  and  UNHCR  have requested  that  all  new  arrivals  from  the  three major entry points of Burbiey, Akobo and Pagak be moved to Okugu camp.   

Since  September  2014;  the WHO  has maintained  an Ebola centre at the entry points in Gambella Region. 

IOM has also continued 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 environments. As of this reporting  period,  a  total  of  650  shelters  have  been erected  with  400  of  these  completed  with  mud sidewalls while the remaining are awaiting completion.  

In  Benishangul‐Gumuz  Region,  IOM  is  facilitating refugee movements from border points to designated refugee  camps. As of 25th November, 2,599  refugees have been  relocated  from various entry points  in  the Region.  

On request by UNHCR, IOM is also facilitating camp‐to‐camp  transportation  for  refugees  who may  want  to relocate to different camps for one reason or another.  

IOM  has  been  providing  emergency  evacuation  and relocation  assistance,  pre‐departure  medical screening, and transitional shelter assistance for them since January 2014. 

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,  WFP,  IMC,  ARRA,  ACF,  MSF‐F  as  well  as regional hospitals.  

Challenges  • Limited  reception  capacity  resulting  in  limited 

movement.  

• Heavy rains flooding rivers made 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:
