As per the recent DTM conducted from 6-12 November 2021, a total of 15,496 HHs (80,832) individuals) are displaced in the Sibu Sire and Guto Gida woredas of East Wellega zone. According to the, inter agency rapid response need assessment report of 21 July 2021 the IDPs and hots communities are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. The number of IDPs are increasing day to day.
According to the data obtained from the Zone Agricultural Department prevalence of livestock diseases remains a major challenge that has been affecting production and productivity of livestock in the targeted woredas. Many of livestock diseases can easily be prevented through treatment campaigns the livestock departments are expected to conduct regularly. However, the office does not have adequate resource to conduct the annualized vaccination and treatment campaigns. 

The Assessment conducted by multiagency team suggests that emergency is on the rise and its impact is being reflected on the conditions of loss of livelihoods of the pastoral and agro-pastoral communities across all woredas of East Wellega Zone. Since 2018, the woreda has been hosting IDPs from Kamashi. Recently, a renewed conflict started in May 2021 have increased IDP caseload in the woreda. So far, a total 1,350HHs or a total of 7,316 individuals (3,582 female) were displaced from Mizyiga Woreda -Soge and Didesa/Haro Kebele to Sasiga woreda, Balo town. Unconfirmed number of IDPs are currently located in other kebeles namely: Anger, Kersa Mojo, Baredu Balo, and Hora Wata. Discussions with IDPs indicated that they have not received any humanitarian assistance since they arrived at their current location but are supported by the host community. They are currently residing with their relatives, in the street, verandas, yet there is no collective site that should be established otherwise. 
The main cause of the displacement was ongoing ‘group conflict’ between UAG and government forces. The assessment findings indicate that the safety and security of these people of concern were at risk and had to flee from their habitual residence. Government offices and commercials centers including small markets in Soge town have been closed since 16 July 2021.
