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 18th December 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. The survey aimed to track population dynamics and displacement patterns within the center to better inform humanitarian responses and improve OTA operations.

According to the headcount conducted, the TC hosts 1,618 individuals (1,383 South Sudanese returnees, 212 Sudanese nationals, and 23 individuals of other nationalities), reflecting an increase of 66 individuals compared to October 2024.
