SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS 1. Humanitarian Situation Overview

1.1 Refugee Update: Ethiopia is hosting the largest number of refugees in Africa, with 635,956 refugees registered as of 31 August 2014. The refugees in the country are primarily South Sudanese (250,956 or 39.4 per cent - including refugees that have come prior to the December 2013 conflict), Somali (245,511 or 38.6 per cent), Eritrean (100,394 or 15.8 per cent), Sudanese (35,038 or 5.5 per cent) and 4,361 refugees from several other countries, including Kenya, Djibouti, DRC, Yemen, Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda. The influx of South Sudanese refugees continues. As of 4 September 2014, the total number of new arrivals to Gambella reached 188,726 individuals (only the refugees that have arrived since the December 2013 conflict). Out of these new arrivals, 157,570 (84 per cent) have been relocated to the camps while 18,126 (10 per cent) are waiting relocation. The remaining 12,353 (6 per cent) are absent for relocation after level one registration was conducted mainly in Matar waiting station and Pagak entry point. A total of 1,495 unaccompanied children and 5,245 separated children have been identified in the camps. As all the three refugee camps established since January - Leitchor, Tierkidi and Kule - have reached their full capacity, a fourth new refugee camp, Nip Nip, was established in August 2014. However, because of the floods in mid-August, the Administration for Refugees and Returnees Affairs (ARRA) announced that Leitchor and Nip Nip refugee camps will be closed as soon as all refugees are relocated to Okugu camp, located in Dima woreda (district) some 350 km away from Gambella town. The Okugu refugee camp (established in June 2013 and currently hosting around 2,000 refugees) is being expanded to accommodate an additional 35,000 people. The rains and floods continue to pose logistic challenges for the humanitarian response, in addition to the public health threat and deterioration of living conditions of the refugees. Malaria is reportedly the major health concern in the region and in the refugee camps. The floods have also damaged the roads connecting Gambella town with Leitchor and Nip Nip refugee camps and Matar transit centre making it unpassable. As a result, no vehicles, including trucks with food and other relief assistance, can move from Gambella town towards Leitchor, Nip Nip, Matar and Burubei. UNHCR, WFP and partners are moving the food and relief items with boats. The roads n Kule and Tierkidi refugee camps have also been affected by rains, creating an additional challenge for the partners to provide basic services. Cases of Hepatitis E continue to be reported, although at a decreasing rate, from Leitchor, Kule and Tierkidi camps. Between March and first week of September, 524 cases have been reported from the three camps, with the majority of cases coming from Leitchor camp. All partners have put in place prevention and control measures, including provision of adequate and safe drinking water, increase in latrine coverage and community awareness campaign to reduce open defecation, provision of soaps, appropriate waste disposal and management and ensure adequate hygienic practices among the refugee community. 1.2 Floods Update:

During the months of July and August, floods affected more than 33,700 people and destroyed crop fields in Oromia (East, West and North Shewa, Jimma, West Wellega and Horo Guduru Wollega zones), Tigray (central and Southern Tigray), SNNPR (Hadiya and South Omo) and Afar (Zone 3) regions. Flooding has also been reported from Gambella affecting thousands of people, including South Sudanese refugees. The national flood task force is reactivated to coordinate preparedness and response activities. According to the forecast of the National Meteorological Agency, in September heavy rains will continue to be received in western and south western parts of the country including western Oromia, Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz, SNNP and western Amhara raising the likelihood of floods. The Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) issued its revised flood alert on 9 September and together with partners is closely following up the evolving situation in the affected areas and other at risk areas to ensure timely preparedness and response.

1.3 Nutrition Update: The Emergency Nutrition Coordination Unit (ENCU) continues to routinely monitor the emergency nutrition situation at national level by collecting and analysing CMAM admissions, through ad hoc or bi-annual surveys and the revision of woredas’ hotspot status. ENCU reports that the overall nutrition situation remains stable in Ethiopia except in some Belg /Gu rains benefiting areas of northern, north eastern and south eastern Afar, southern zones of Somali, eastern Oromia, the southern lowlands of SNNPR and Gambella Region where Southern Sudanese refugees are received. Between January and June 2014, a total of 125,755 children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) were admitted for treatment in six major regions (Oromia, Amhara, SNNPR, Somali, Tigray and Afar) of the country. When the January-June 2014 admission is compared with the same period in 2011, 2012 and 2013, the current year admission is less by 22.8 per cent, 20 per cent and 10.6 per cent respectively. July national data is not yet available.

Figure 1: Trends in admissions (ENCU) Nutrition surveys: During the month of July 2014, ENCU reviewed and cleared one standard nutrition survey conducted in Gulina woreda in Afar Region. This survey was conducted from 4 to 9 July 2014 by GOAL Ethiopia and the result was classified as serious as per national emergency nutrition assessment guideline with GAM rate of 11.1 per cent and SAM rate of 0.9 per cent. Following the poor Gu performance, three twice-annual nutrition surveys were conducted in June in the Somali Region. Based on the survey’s results, the nutrition situation was classified as poor, serious and critical in Dembal, kelafo and Bare woredas respectively with GAM rates ranging between 13.4 per cent in Dembal to 21.2 per cent in Bare. The SAM prevalence in Dembal and Kelafo surveys was below 1.0 per cent while it was estimated at 2.0 per cent in Bare woreda. On 18 August, ENCU updated its hotspot woredas list to reflect the changing humanitarian situation. Compared to the April hotspot list, the number of priority one woredas increased by 64.6 per cent from 76 to 125, while the number of priority two woredas decreased from 181 to 162. Afar, Oromia and Somali regions account for 75 per cent of all hotspot priority one woredas reflecting the impact of the inadequate seasonal rains in these areas. The revised hotspot list will guide humanitarian partners to prioritize resources and implement nutrition response programmes. 1.4 Health Update: Ethiopia has 1 Wild Polio Virus (WPV) confirmed in 2014, with date of onset on 5 January 2014. No new cases have been reported since; the total number of reported cases since the onset of the outbreak in August 2013 remains 10.

Between 7 July and 10 August, 46 new cases of Dengue fever were reported from Gode area in Shabelle zone, Somali Region. No new cases were reported for several weeks prior to these cases.

Dengue fever was confirmed for the first time in Ethiopia in Dire Dawa city in mid-September 2013. Cases were later reported in Gode area of Somali Region in January 2014 and in Afar Region 2014. Ethiopia’s Federal Ministry of Health continues to strengthen Ebola outbreak preparedness and surveillance capacity, including screening all travellers from West Africa upon arrival at the Addis Ababa airport. No Ebola case is reported in the country. 1.5 WASH Update: The June to September Kiremt rains have improved water availability in most parts of the country. At the same time, the intensification of the dry season in the southern zones of Somali Region and pastoral areas of Oromia Region has resulted critical water shortage in these areas. In Oromia Region, increasing needs are being reported affecting an estimated 265,000 people in East and West Hararghe, Bale and Borena zones. In Afar, rains at the beginning of September have relieved the nearly 20,000 people that were affected by persistent water shortage in Erebti, Eliddar, Kori, Bidu and Berhale woredas. An estimated 6,000 people, however, remain affected by shortage of water in Berhale woreda. In the Somali Region, more than 162,300 people are reportedly affected by water shortage while in Tigray Region, the seasonal rains have led to the cessation of the water trucking operation. In Tigray Region, sustainable water supply systems are under construction that are expected to relief the chronic water shortages reported. In Shiraro and Shire towns, the government is constructing water supply systems that are to be completed in December 2014. While in Raya Azebo woreda, the UNICEF supported water supply system is on its finalization stage. 2. Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination UNICEF leads the WASH and nutrition clusters. UNICEF also co-leads the education cluster with Save the Children and leads the child protection/gender based violence (GBV) sub-cluster at the national level. In the refugee setting, UNICEF works in support of UNHCR and ARRA to ensure access to basic services. 3. Summary Analysis of Programme Response 3.1 South Sudanese Refugees Emergency Response: UNICEF continues to support UNHCR/ARRA to provide health, nutrition, WASH, education and child protection services to refugees in the refugee camps and at the border crossing points. UNICEF seconded WASH, Nutrition, Health, Education and Child Protection Specialists to UNHCR to support the sector coordination and provide leadership in the respective sectoral responses including humanitarian situation monitoring, providing technical support to the partners in implementation of programmes to reach results in accordance with set standards. Health: Since the beginning of the humanitarian response in January 2014, 113,722 children (6 months – 15 years) have been vaccinated against measles, while 94,325 children (0-15 years) were provided with oral polio vaccines. The Regional Health Bureau (RHB) teams supported by UNICEF has been providing the vaccinations. Ebola prevention activities are ongoing in Gambella with three screening sites identified in Pagak, Burubei and Puchala. RHB provided training to about 20 staff from the main hospital in Gambella town and four health staff from each of the five districts. Screening commenced on 5 September at Pagak entry point. UNICEF will provide five tents. As part of the malaria prevention and control, 61,109 insecticide treated bed nets have been distributed to the refugees. In addition, RHB with financial and technical   support from UNICEF sprayed with chemicals 3,675 breeding sites in Leitchour, Kule and Tierkidi camps from 30 June to 4 August. This is expected to reduce malaria related morbidity and mortality as the seasonal malaria transmission period from September to November progresses.

With cholera outbreak reported in South Sudan and concerns of the outbreak spreading to the refugee camps in Gambella where sanitation conditions are poor, MSF-France with the support of Ministry of Health/Regional Health Bureau (RHB), WHO, UNICEF and other partners, conducted in August the second round of Oral Cholera Vaccination campaign reaching 123,163 people, both

refugees (71 per cent) and host community (36 per cent). To increase the second dose coverage in the camps, MSF France is planning another round of campaign. During the first round 187,106 (96.5 per cent) refugees and host community were reached, each person is required to take two doses. UNICEF has supported the campaigns with logistics and social mobilization.

UNICEF has signed a programme cooperation agreement with the international NGO IRC to support the integrated community case management of common childhood illnesses as an emergency response to the refugees and building the capacities of health posts in the region. Nutrition: Between January and August 2014, RBH with support from UNICEF and health partners provided Vitamin A to 50,145 children 6 months – 5 years. UNICEF continues to support the vaccination through the deployment of consultants who provide technical support to the RHB teams. The CMAM programme in the camps has so far admitted a total of 17,920 malnourished children under five for treatment. Out of these children, 1 566 malnourished children with complications have been successfully treated at the stabilization centres. An additional 4,343 children were treated and discharged from the outpatient therapeutic programme while 4,629 others were treated under the targeted supplementary feeding programme. The cure rate for the first week of September was 84 per cent. The death and defaulter rates were all above the Sphere standard accepted internationally in Tierkidi and Kule camps. In Leitchour camp, the cure rate has improved from 57.2 to 63.6 per cent but is less than the Sphere standard of more than 75 per cent.

WASH: The Regional Water Bureau with UNICEF support drilled 16 shallow wells that are providing clean water to an estimated 8,000 people. As a longer term sustainable strategy, UNICEF is supporting the design, construction of water reservoir tanks and technical support for establishment of permanent water system in Kule and Tierkidi refugee camps. Once completed in mid-2015, the system is expected to serve some 120,000 refugees and host communities living in the surrounding areas.  UNICEF aims to speed up the construction of the system as US$ 1 spent on permanent water system we save US$ 2 on water trucking costs. Oxfam with support from UNICEF installed two emergency water treatment kits providing clean water to an estimated 24,000 refugees in Kule camp that has become inaccessible due to floods to trucks that were providing water trucking. The kits sediments, filtrates and distributes clean water through a tap connected to a storage tank, thus minimizing the health risks of using surface water and reducing the burden of women and children going a long distance to fetch water. UNICEF has signed a project cooperation agreement with Oxfam to improve access to better sanitation services, including solid waste management and trainings on acute watery diarrhoea to prevent disease outbreaks. Only 10% of household latrines funding in each camp, UNICEF, UNHCR and partners are looking into ways to increase the participation of the refugees in the construction of the latrines. Education: Access to education is still low with only 31 per cent of the children aged 3 to 18 years old in the three major camps- Leitchour, Tierkidi and Kule- enrolled in schools. Out of the estimated 9,226 children aged 15 to 18 years, none of them have access to school. Out of the estimated 29,465 children aged 3-6 years, 21 per cent are enrolled while from the 41,147 children 7-14 years, 45 per cent are enrolled. The Ethiopian academic year 2014 -2015 starts in mid-September and a “back to school” campaign is planned to enrol an estimated 22,300 primary school children in Kule and Tierkidi refugee camps. UNICEF in collaboration with Save the Children International (SCI) and Plan International has developed a detailed micro plan for this campaign. The target is to ensure access to education for all eligible children (grade I-IV) into the temporary learning spaces and commence regular classes from 26th September 2014. The plan includes the requirements of space, teachers, training, text books and stationery as well as volunteers for support and gaps. UNICEF will provide school supplies for the children, materials for the establishment of temporary learning centres and support the teachers’ training. In preparations for the 2014 – 2015 academic year, with UNICEF support, 157 refugee teachers from Kule and Tierkidi refugee camps were trained from 1 to 3 September. Additional trainings are planned both for the host community and refugee camps.

Child Protection: Refugee children continue to enjoy different outdoor and indoor activities at the child friendly spaces. In Kule camp, an average of 5,800 children and in Tierkidi an average of 7,500 children are accessing the friendly spaces. In Pugnido, more than 1,670 children benefited from the child friendly services. In Leitchor, no activities are ongoing because of the floods, however, SCI has established mobile child friendly space to continue providing the vital services to the refugee children. UNICEF has trained 50 social workers from SCI on Child Protection in Emergencies and on handling separated and unaccompanied children. Communication for Development: In Gambella, UNICEF in coordination with RHB developed a radio spot messages focusing on safe water management, hand washing and latrine usage in three of the local languages (Agnuak, Mejing and Nuer) of the host community. The radio spot transmission started on 28 August 2014 and will be aired until 15 September 2014. According to the regional authorities, an estimated 254,000 people (65-70 per cent) will be reached with these messages. Also in Gambella, UNICEF in coordination with Oxfam provided a two-days training on Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) for 725 community outreach agents in Leitchour, Tierkidi and Kule camps. The agents are expected to play a key role in the prevention of AWD outbreak by teaching the refugee population safe hygiene practices and handling and storage of water. Similarly, UNICEF developed and distributed to partners AWD information, education and communication materials with key messages on hygiene promotion. The materials include 30,000 brochures and 8,000 posters that are expected to reach all the refugees. 3.2 Emergency Response in Ethiopia Health: As a continued response to the polio outbreak in the country, sub-national immunization days are planned in September for the Somali Region and refugees in Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz regions. In Somali Region, a joint UNICEF/WHO team is supporting the micro-planning and social mobilization to ensure reaching nomadic populations. National immunization days are proposed for November and December 2014. Partners including UNICEF and WHO continue to technically support the response with the deployment of immunization and communication specialists. Up to the end of August 2014, 10 rounds of vaccinations have been conducted including national and sub-national (for high risk areas) immunization activities. A team from UNICEF, WHO and Ministry of Health from Addis Ababa visited Warder town to support the polio outbreak response activities by introducing and implementing new communication and social mobilization strategies through clan and sub-clan leaders and through the Islamic Affairs Council to reach the unvaccinated children deep in the rural settings. The teams in Dollo zone introduced the new Roto virus vaccine (Rotrix) and have already started the cascaded trainings for the health professionals for later integration to the routine EPI services. The 11th round of the Wild Polio Virus outbreak response supplementary immunization activities, are planned to be started on 16 September 2014, all pre-campaign preparatory activities including social mobilizations, micro-plan reviews, trainings, vaccine, supply an cold chain inventory, monitoring and management are in place for the smooth implementation of the upcoming campaign. Nutrition: Following the release of the revised nutrition hotspot woredas list, ENCU held an ad-hoc coordination meeting on 21 August on strengthening emergency nutrition responses in hotspot woredas. Partners on the ground have committed to expand operations to an additional 45 woredas in addition to the 56 priority 1 woreda they are currently engaged in. Partners working in 33 priority two woredas have committed to expand to another 14 woredas. UNICEF has sufficient amount of therapeutic feeding programme supplies in the country to cover the needs beyond 2014. The World Food Program is mobilizing resources to address targeted supplementary feeding supply shortfalls to cover needs in all 125 nutrition hotspot priority one woredas, targeting 458,298 beneficiaries. WFP also expressed its commitment to implement targeted

7    

supplementary food (TSF) programme in the 125 priority one woredas, but needs additional 3 million USD. TSF responses are required to prevent further deterioration of the nutrition situation. WASH: As of first week of September, Oromia Region requested a total of 30 water trucks to provide emergency water for an estimated 265,000 people. Out of the required trucks, 18 are deployed and benefited more than 109,000 people with access to clean water. UNICEF has been supporting to deploy two trucks in West Hararghe zone, Burka Dimtu woreda benefiting 16,400 people. The Somali regional Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Bureau has requested for support water trucking in prioritized woredas while some has is already started in Adadle and Dollo Ado woredas. Communication for Development: UNICEF in close collaboration with FMoH/ EPHI (Ethiopian Public Health Institution) and other partners has developed working case definition for Ebola Virus for health institutions. Orientations and training of health workers in Addis Ababa, regions and the Airline/Airport staff have also been conducted. An equipped isolation unit with infection prevention equipment has been established at the airport and prepared key messages in Amharic and English language have been distributed. Education The Education Cluster conducted an assessment in Shire refugee camps in Tigray Region where Eritrean refugees are accommodated. UNICEF in partnership with NRC will to provide access to quality education to some 1,600 refugee school-aged children (50 per cent girls) in Shire refugee camps.

FUNDING: UNICEF has increased its 2014 humanitarian appeal for Ethiopia to US$42,311,000 in view of the increasing inflow of South Sudanese refugees. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia has received emergency funds from Government of United Kingdom, Government of Japan, Government of USA, CERF, HRF, Government of Finland and UK National Committee for UNICEF.
