Transportation of refugees and asylum-seekers from border points to established refugee camps for Emergency Response to the Sudan Situation ltpgt


ltp class="MsoNormal"gtWith
SSHF funding, this project will focus on the transportation of 2,000 refugees
and asylum-seekers from border points to refugee camps/settlements. As of 27
June 2023, over 18,300 individuals arriving from Sudan have sought asylum in
South Sudan. The Emergency Response Plan to the Sudan Situation projects a
total of 60,000 refugees and asylum-seekers to arrive by end of October 2023.ltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gt

lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtThe Sudan-South
Sudan border points are in remote areas with little services available. The
priority of the emergency response has been to expedite onward transport away
from borders to areas of return, nearby refugee camps or countries of origin as
applicable. Refugees and asylum-seekers in need of international protection will need transportation to designated refugee-hosting areas, as stipulated by the host government. At the same time, there is very limited transportation options provided by the government or private couriersnbspfrom border points/transit centers to designated refugee camps.nbspAs such, this project will provide refugees and asylum-seekers safe transport to established refugee
camps/settlements, enabling access to essential protection and assistance services
while also decongesting border areas and transit centres.nbspltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtltbrgtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtAs
part of the South Sudan emergency response to the Sudan crisis, UNHCR and the Commission
for Refugee Affairs (CRA) have been working in four main locations in Juba,
Central Equatoria, Maban, Upper Nile, Jamjang, Unity/Ruweng Administrative Area
and Wedwil, Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal providing protection and essential services
to newly arriving refugees and asylum-seekers.nbspnbsplt/spangtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtRefugees and asylum-seekers who arrive in Juba
usually self-organize their movement. At the current rate of arrival and
assuming conflict dynamics in Sudan do not change significantly, it is
projected that the majority of refugees and asylum-seekers will be transported
to lt/spangtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtnbsplt/spangtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtrefugee camps in the Maban area
(Upper Nile State), the JamJang area (Ruweng Administrative Area) and the
Wedwil site (Northern Bahr el-Ghazal) in South Sudannbspby year-end.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltbrgtltbrgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtThis project will transport refugees along
three main routes which are the eastern route (Renk, Paloich  Malakal to
Maban refugee camps in Upper Nile State), central route (Panakuach 
Rubkona of Unity State to Jamjang refugee camps in Ruweng Administrative Area),
western route (Kiir Adem, Majokyinthiu, Abyei to the newly establishednbspWedwil site in Northern
Bahr-el-Ghazal). Together with CRA,nbspUNHCR will work with AAHI to implement this project. UNHCR willnbspcoordinate and organize the overall operation at border/reception points, transportation by road for refugees and
asylum-seekers, and drop-off/refugee reception management at the three destinations AAHI will support UNHCR innbspfleet management and providing logistical support for twonbspdestinations (Jamjang and Maban camps).
