1 IOM CHAD Influx from the Central African Republic (CAR) UPDATE 5 Feb 2014 Stranded returnees (Mbitoye IOM 2014) IOM s EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN CHAD Despite the relative calm in Bangui over the past two days, the security situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) remains extremely volatile. Latest security incidents in the provinces of Kemo, Ombella Mpoko and Lobaye are continuing to spread fear and further displacement. Since 28 January, IOM registered 1,244 Migrants at N Djamena airport that have been evacuated by the Chadian Government and IOM flights. Another 14,455 persons have arrived by land in Chad from the CAR, either on their own or onboard Chadian road convoys (28 January - 4 February 2014). IOM is joining the efforts of the Government and other Humanitarian partners to meet the critical needs of over 52,000 migrants, refugees and third-country nationals (TCNs) who have so far arrived in Chad in less than 6 weeks. Registration and profiling of Chadian returnees and third-country nationals (TCNs) upon arrival by land or by air; Emergency health assistance : medical escorts during air evacuation; emergency medical services in the transit centres; referrals to hospitals and psychosocial care; Identification and referrals of Unaccompanied and Separated Children to the Ministry of Social Action; of CAR citizens to UNHCR; of third-country nationals (TCNs) to their Diplomatic missions in Chad; Transport of evacuees from airport or border entry points to the transit centres, from the TC to final destination in Chad or country of origin; Maintenance of Transit Centre (TC): water, sanitation, maintenance and security; Information sharing and coordination with humanitarian partners on influx, needs of evacuees, emergency response and impact in areas of high returns through OCHA.

2 REGISTRATION AND PROFILING Registration is conducted at the N Djamena airport, at border entry points (EPs) in the south: Sido, Gore and Mbitoye, and in the Transit Centres: Doba and Doyaba (Sarh). From 21 December 2013 to 4 February 2014, IOM has registered 52,128 evacuees from the CAR. 15,530 evacuees have landed in N Djamena onboard 79 flights (65 from the Chadian Government and 14 from IOM). Another 36,598 evacuees have been registered in the south. Fig. 1. Percentage and Total Numbers of Registered Migrants per Location Fig. 2.

3 EMERGENCY HEALTH RESPONSE Living conditions of evacuated Migrants vary from one TC to the other. In N Djamena, health services provided by the Government need to be reinforced as current available services are insufficient to respond to the health needs of the newly evacuated migrants. Lack of medical supplies and equipment is particularly evident in all TCs. There is a need for reproductive health services, chronic diseases treatment, as well as a strong and referral system for acute medical cases. Moreover, evacuated Migrants have currently limited access to the National Tuberculosis and HIV programmes services. In N Djamena, in coordination with the Government, IOM is supporting the health care delivery in Gaoui, that will be scaled up in the coming days by the set up of a temporary health post. In the DAS and Sabangali TCs, IOM is the only agency providing crucial primary health care services. In the south, IOM will carry out a health needs assessment in the TCs as no in-depth details are available as of yet. IOM, MSF and IRC teams report strong need for medicines and a high rate of malnutrition among Returnees in the south. IOM continues to provide health services to Migrants from the Bangui airport (CAR) to N Djamena (Chad) through medical screening, pre-departure medical checks and care, medical escort and referrals. Gaoui camp with UNICEF and the Directorate of Children from the Ministry of Social Action to assess the feasibility of transferring the UASC to the camp. Urgent decision and action are needed with regards to the relocation of UASC. Most of the UASC in N Djamena are currently hosted in the Division de l Action Sociale (DAS Transit Centre) where their living conditions are of great concern. This is in terms of meeting their basic needs i.e. security and protection. In Doba, the Ministry of Social Action has identified a separated space for highly vulnerable space including UASC. IOM is working with the Ministry of Social Action to strengthen the referral system of UASC in the south, by deploying focal points in all sites and by strengthening coordination with counterparts to ensure adequate psychosocial support and follow up services are provided. In all transit centres, there is an urgent need for childfriendly spaces, care programmes, family tracing, provision of NFIs, healthcare and psychosocial support for children who are travelling unaccompanied or separated from their parents. TRANSPORT In N Djamena, IOM has transported 3,087 persons from the eight N Djamena transit centres to the new transit camp of Gaoui located at 15km outside N Djamena over the past week. UNACCOMPANIED AND SEPARATED CHILDREN (UASC) Since 28 January, IOM has registered over 120 UASC in N'Djamena and in the south of Chad. After the registration, UASC are referred to the Ministry of Social Action. Currently, IOM follows up the referred UASC on an ad hoc basis until a strong system is put in place. In addition, IOM has designed SOPs concerning assistance to UASC in collaboration with all humanitarian and Government partners. The SOPs ensure the specific needs of UASC are met until family reunification or other long-term durable solutions are found. IOM is also currently working on establishing mechanisms for referrals from the Ministry of Social Action to IOM for assistance with transportation for the family reunification of UASC. There is a number of CAR refugees among the persons crossing the border by foot from the CAR into Chad. (Mbitoye IOM 2014) IOM has participated in a site visit of the N Djamena IOM Quartier Klemat - Rue 3044 BP 6450 N Djamena Chad 4

4 In the southern city of Doba, most returnees do not want to continue their journey to their areas of origins in Chad. Moreover, during registration and profiling exercises, IOM has identified a number of thirdcountry nationals (TCNs) from Cameroon that need to be assisted with onward transportation to their home country. In Sido, the Government has started to close down the site and transfer all the Migrants to Doyaba TC in Sarh by transporting Returnees in Sido by road convoys. Since 28 January, IOM has transported a total 1,165 Migrants to their final destinations in Chad. MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADING OF TRANSIT CENTRES (TCS) As of 4 February, IOM estimates that over 37,153 persons were sheltered in the TCs in N Djamena (Klemat, Harazai, Paris Congo, Amriguebe, Chagoua, Sabangali, Diguel Riat, and the DAS centre) and in the south (Doba TC and Doyaba TC in Sarh). The need for food and non-food items (FI and NFIs) in the TCs is growing, the latter in terms of hygiene and dignity kits, latrines, water pumps. The Government continues its sensitization campaign of the Chadian returnees in the TCs to leave for their final destinations in the country. On 31 January, a convoy of 16 trucks carrying 2,500 persons arrived in Gore, largely surpassing the transit centre s capacity and forcing the newly arriving Returnees to settle in the nearby forest. In Mbitoye, returnees are spread over an area covering several kilometres and living in the open, sometimes under temporary shelters made of sticks ad grass thatch. There are very few latrines and have no access to clean water. There is an urgent need for shelter and blankets for Returnees in Mbitoye as the area is cold at night. INFORMATION SHARING AND COORDINATION IOM shares data and information collected through registration and profiling exercises on evacuees with the humanitarian partners through OCHA (sitreps and Task Force meetings) for coordination purpose. IOM intends to conduct an impact assessment in areas of high return in the country. Convoys arrive daily at Chad s southern borders, carrying Chadian returnees, CAR refugees fleeing the conflict IOM Quartier Klemat - Rue 3044 BP 6450 N Djamena Chad 5

8 FUNDING REQUIREMENTS On 8 January 2014, IOM s appealed for USD 17.5 M for the CAR crisis. This include funding to provide life-saving assistance to Chadian Migrants arriving in Chad. 10 M are for providing emergency evacuation to migrants stranded in the CAR, while 7.5 M are providing life-saving assistance to migrants returning to Chad. To date, the appeal remains critically underfunded, jeopardizing the delivery of the much-needed assistance service to the thousands of Migrants fleeing the violence in the CAR. Table 1.
