SUBJECT: DAMASCUS REFUGEE SITREP 5 
 
1. (SBU) This is the fifth in a series of Embassy Damascus's 
updates on refugee processing in Syria. 
 
2. (SBU) SUMMARY: IOM reported its medical case load and 
out-processing projections for June through September 2008 
and announced that all cases in WRAPS are now up to date. 
UNHCR met its FY2008 goal of 3900 individual referals to DHS 
and told Elizabeth Harris, PRM/A, on 25 June that UNHCR would 
meet referral targets for the next DHS circuit ride beginning 
August 9. GAO wants to send a team to Damascus in July to 
look at assistance and resettlement efforts.  We are also 
expecting a CDC team in August to meet with panel physicians. 
 END SUMMARY 
 
3. (SBU) REFUGEE MEDICALS: At Post's first monthly meeting 
with IOM and the panel physicians in early June, the 
physicians agreed to continue to process the billing for 
medical cases that are referred to outside specialists.  IOM 
projects that 700 cases will be sent to the physicians 
between 1 June and 7 July.  IOM also noted a more balanced 
distributuion of cases between the three Damascus-based 
physicians: 498, 438, and 432 cases for the period of 19 
March through 26 May.  The physicians were pleased with 
recent improvements in case distribution, operational 
communication with IOM and a more timely exchange of case 
files. 
 
4. (SBU) RESETTLEMENT PROJECTIONS: IOM Damascus provided its 
projections for out-processing and resettlement of 
individuals through the end of FY 2008: 650 for June, 700 for 
July, 800 for August, and 1450 for September.  Ibrahim 
Masaad, IOM Senior Operations Officer, added IOM Damascus had 
confirmed seats on air carriers for all the July cases, and 
it would soon confirm all the August and September cases. 
 
5. (SBU) IOM DAMASCUS UPDATE: IOM reported that all WRAPS 
case files have been brought up to date to be concurrent with 
their physical case files.  IOM staffers are now updating 
case files immediately in WRAPS to accurately reflect its 
status as it moves forward.  Massad attributed this to recent 
staff training in Amman and Cairo, adding that IOM has now 
moved out of its expansion and training phase and could 
increase its caseload. For FY 2008, as of 18 June, 1654 
individuals had been processed and departed for the U.S. 
through IOM.  IOM Damascus currently has six staff members at 
IOM Cairo to assist with the Damascus case load as well as 
four more individuals on loan to IOM Amman to assist with 
Amman's case load. Ibrahim noted that no shows for 
resettlement flights were less than one per cent of the total 
scheduled. 
 
6. (SBU) UNHCR DELIVERS: Angela Murru, UNHCR Protection 
Officer, said that as of 6 June 2008, UNHCR had referred 4255 
individuals for resettlement to the U.S.  The goal of 3900 
individuals for FY 2008 was met at the end of April. 
 
7. (SBU) PRM AT IOM: PRM Program Officer Elizabeth Harris 
spent 25 June with IOM Damascus.  She conducted a Town Hall 
meeting with IOM staff, and in discussions with Maria Rumman, 
IOM Damascus Chief, resolved that IOM would bring specific 
cases of incomplete medicals to the panel physicians' 
attention to improve the quality of medicals and facilitate 
final resettlement.  While at IOM, Harris also met with 
Michelle Alfaro, UNHCR's newly-arrived Senior Resettlement 
Officer.  Alfaro assured Harris that while UNHCR was 
currently concentrating on referrals to other countries' 
resettlement programs, UNHCR would be able to provide 
sufficient referrals for the August 9 - September 20 DHS 
circuit ride to Damascus. 
 
8. (SBU) GAO VISIT: A five-member Government Accountability 
Office team has requested visas and country clearance to 
visit Damascus July 19 - 26.  The team plans to review U.S. 
and international efforts to protect and assist Iraqi 
refugees.  They have asked post to assist in identifying and 
arranging meetings with officials and organizations involved 
in assistance and resettlement. 
 
9. (SBU) CDC VISIT: Three physicians from the Center for 
Disease Control will be in the region 25 July - 20 August. 
The Syria portion of their trip is 14 - 20 August.  They will 
conduct outreach to panel physicians in Jordan, Egypt, 
Lebanon and Syria and address increased fees and new TB 
technical instructions.
