IOM, Partners Complete Relocation of Refugees from South Sudan’s Jamam Camp

IOM and humanitarian partners have successfully completed the relocation of over 16,000 refugees from Jamam camp to Kaya camp in South Sudan. IOM used nine trucks to move the people and their luggage during the six-week operation.
