Description
Due to the continuous flow of returnees and asylum seekers to Paloch and to avoid camping of returnees at the Paloch airport, a transit site was identified and established by the government in Paloch to accommodate the returnees and asylum seekers who continue to come from Renk to Paloch and then to their places of origin. Currently, the transit site is hosting over 12,000 returnees, and the humanitarian situation in the transit site continues to deteriorate. A significant number of children are malnourished, and others are sick with measles, respiratory infections, acute watery diarrhoea, and malaria. The returnees at the transit site are in dire need of humanitarian assistance in terms of transportation, food, shelter, health, and WASH.
