Cross border movements to/from Somalia and major movements within Gedo, Middle and Lower Juba

After noting a decreasing trend of movements during the past two months (Feb-March), movements in the border regions of Juba and Gedo was noted to have increased from 2,500 in March to 3,080 in April. Among these, 77% crossed the border from Kenya (2,100) and 270 from Ethiopia. The other 24% moved within the border region due to insecurity (127), lack of livelihood (358) and IDP returnees (225). The main reasons for moving to Somalia include the improving security situation in places of origin, insecurity and inadequate humanitarian support in the camps. Many are returning back to camps after the planting season.
