Overview
On 3rd May 2023, the Upper Nile State government, in collaboration with a task force sub-committee established the Malakal Transit Centre (TC) to coordinate the movement of individuals arriving from Renk due to the conflict in Sudan. The TC aims to provide Onward Transportation Assistance (OTA) for individuals intending to move to other areas within South Sudan.
On 19th October 2024, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Danish Refugee Council (DRC), and Humanitarian and Development Consortium (HDC) conducted a rapid intention survey at Malakal TC aimed to track population dynamics and displacement patterns in the center, to better inform humanitarian response and improve OTA operations.
According to the headcount conducted, the TC hosts 1,684 individuals (1,632 South Sudanese returnees and 52 Sudanese nationals), showing a decrease of 210 individuals compared to August 2024.
