EXTERNAL SITUATION REPORT 05-19 May 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 548,543 individuals. Ethiopia has received the highest number of refugees with a total of over 206,923 individuals according to UNHCR (203,877 through Gambella, and 3,046 through Benishangul‐Gumuz). The Ethiopian borders still remain open to asylum seekers.
Including the camp-to-camp relocation, IOM has assisted a total of 220,555 refugees: 217,509 in Gambella and 3,046 in Benishangul‐Gumuz since the conflict broke out.
Since the last update, IOM has evacuated and relocated a total of 27,765 refugees; 27,705 in
Gambella and 60 in Benishangul-Gumuz Region.
IOM has started the long awaited camp-to-camp relocation of refugees from Leitchour and Nip Nip to Jewii on 8th May camp to avoid flooding of camps

IOM has assisted a total of 220,555 refugees: 217,509 in Gambella and 3,046 in Benishangul‐Gumuz since the conflict broke out.
27,765 refugees from Gambella and 60 in Benishangul-Gumuz have been relocated since the last update.
More than 6,000 refugees are awaiting relocation from Pagak to camps in Gambella.
The total number of refugees relocated in a day reached as high as 4,500.

with raining seasons approaching. The relocation which was under consultation by Administration for Refugees and Returnees (ARRA), UNHCR and IOM since mid April 2015 was finalized.
On this swift operation, 26,309 South Sudanese refugees were relocated. 142 vulnerable refugees were airlifted. The majority of the refugees relocated (24,005) were from Leitchour; while the remaining were from Nip Nip. The total number of refugees relocated in a day reached as high as 4,500. Such a large number requires the use of a large convoy of busses exceeding a line of 70 busses and 10 trucks. IOM has chartered 50 busses from the Gambella proximity and 20 busses from Addis Ababa for this operation.
A total of 50,000 refugees were residing in Leitchour camp. IOM hopes to relocate all to the new camp before the rainy season starts in June.
In the mean time, a large number of refugees continue to cross through the Pagak entry point. There are approximately 6,000 refugees in the Pagak entry point. IOM will continue the border evacuation of refugees from the Pagak and Akobo border entry points in consultation with ARRA and UNHCR.
3,562 refugees have been relocated on the month of April from Gambella border entry points. The total number of refugees transported in the first four days of May was 1,104 (before the camp to camp relocation) highlighting the increasing number of refugees entering Ethiopia.
The resuming of the air operations has helped evacuate vulnerable refugees. In total, 1,777 vulnerable refugees received emergency evacuation assistance by a helicopter supplied by UNHCR with IOM medical escort on board.
In addition to the border evacuation and relocation, 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. 650 Shelters have already been handed over to beneficiaries and 1,811 are under construction.
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 continue to challenge access to some camps in Benishangul‐ Gumuz.
Refugees’ concerns about relocation to different refugee camps.
Declining water level preventing boat relocation.
