| Ethiopia: Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 19 March 2012 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:50:52 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan (Republic of), Sudan (the) Refugee Update Up to 15,000 people from the Lou Nuer community have crossed into Ethiopia?s western Gambella Region since mid-February 2012. The new arrivals ? most of whom are women, children and elderly ? have settled near the border town of Matar and are living in makeshift shelters. Local communities have been sharing existing food and water stocks and other public facilities with the new arrivals, but the influx has stretched water and sanitation facilities beyond their capacity. UNHCR is working with the government refugee agency, ARRA, to establish a transit centre near Matar and to expedite the screening, registration and relocation of individuals verified as refugees to Fugnido camp. As of 13 March, about 1,300 people had been transferred to Fugnido. Fugnido camp was opened in 1993 in response to previous influxes of refugees from Sudan and is home to an existing population of some 23,000 refugees, most of whom would now be Southern Sudanese. UNHCR has started distribution of non-food items (NFIs), including tents, plastic sheets, blankets, kitchen sets and jerry cans to the new arrivals in Fugnido from its stockpile in Gambella, while ARRA and WFP are providing food assistance. WFP is also working with Government counterparts to extend food assistance in Gambella Region to cover the already-vulnerable host community. UNHCR and ARRA are also working to prepare for possible additional influxes of refugees in the future. For more information, contact: gegziabk@unhcr.org or prokopch@unhcr.org |

| Congo (the): Situation Update: Regiment Blinde Munitions Explosion, Mpila, Brazzaville, Congo (as of 19 Mar 2012) Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:56:48 +0000 This map illustrates the satellite-detected area affected by the Regiment Blinde Munitions explosion on 04 March 2012. Using a satellite image from 15 March 2012 a Primary Blast Zone with a diameter of 1.5 kilometers around the munitions storage facility was analyzed. Within this zone 1,558 buildings unobscured by clouds were examined, of which 62% were clearly identified as destroyed, 9% had severe damage visible, and 29% indicated no damage visible in the imagery. Cloudy conditions resulted in a total of 966 buildings being obscured, many of which are likely to destroyed or severely damaged. Additionally, a total of 152 destroyed or damaged buildings are visible around the periphery of the Primary Blast Zone. This map also includes the designated No-Go zone in the blast area. This is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT.
