EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 22 January – 10 February 2015
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 502,300 individuals. Ethiopia has received the highest number of refugees with a total of over 195,537 individuals according to UNHCR (192,821 through Gambella, and 2,716 through Benishangul‐Gumuz). The Ethiopian borders still remain open to asylum seekers.
So far, IOM has assisted a total of 185,669 refugees: 182,953 in Gambella and 2,716 in Benishangul‐Gumuz since the conflict broke out.
Since the last update, IOM has evacuated a total of 401 refugees; 353 in Gambella and 48 in Benishangul-Gumuz Region. The total number of refugees relocated in January 2015 is 671 (586 in Gambella 85 in Benishangul-Gumuz Region). The number has relatively decreased compared to previous months due to refusal of refugees to be relocated.

However, after information campaign conducted by the Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA) and UNHCR at the entry points, relocation has commenced in Gambella.
New arrivals of refugees in Gambella are now being registered at Akobo and Pagak and relocated to Pugnido.
The Gambella refugee emergency refugee task force held a meeting in the past week. IOM announced the closure of Itang way station to all stakeholders. The last 21 refugees who refused relocation, have agreed and were moved to Kule II Camp .
In February, so far IOM relocated 40 refugees from Pagak and 27 from Pamdong to Pugnido.
The Nip Nip and Leitchour movement has been delayed further because of more consultations that are being made by ARRA and UNHCR with the refugees. Some reports indicate that communities in Nyin Nyang are encouraging refugees to resist relocation from Nip Nip and Leitchour as the refugee presence has been beneficial.
During this reporting period, 9 refugees were relocated by a helicopter from Akobo to Punyido. So far, 1,401 vulnerable refugees who needed medical assistance, were airlifted with an IOM medical escort on-board by a helicopter, provided by UNHCR.
Ever since the relocation operation started in mid-November, 6,368 refugees were relocated from Matar to Pugnido.
ARRA informed IOM that the next phase of relocation is targeting Nip Nip and Leitchour camps. The first priority will be Nip Nip camp and refugees will be moved to Pugnido camp to cover the gap of 7,000 refugees who can still be accommodated in the camp. The remaining
Nip Nip and Leitchour refugees will be moved to the new camp sites after Pugnido camp will be filled up.
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.
IOM has also continued the construction of shelters to assist 24,000 refugees (4,000 households) in Kule refugee camp in Gambella to enhance protection from harsh weather conditions and environments. As of this reporting period, a total of 650 shelters have been completed with mud sidewalls and are occupied by refugees. The site cleaning for additional 1,300 shelters have been completed and the construction is expected to commence once procurement of construction materials is complete.
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
Security threats have made some camps in Benishangul‐ Gumuz inaccessible.
Refugees’ concerns about relocation to different refugee camps.
Declining water level preventing boat relocation.
