El aumento de los movimientos migratorios de personas altamente vulnerables en el continente americano continuó durante enero a junio de 2023, se percibe en todas las subregiones, excepto la frontera sur de los Estados Unidos. Las nacionalidades venezolana, haitiana, cubana y ecuatoriana son las protagonistas en estos grandes movimientos irregulares.  Por su parte, desde finales de 2022 se ha observado un aumento importante en el flujo de  salida de población ecuatoriana tanto de forma regular como irregular, esta última se puede observar mediante fuentes indirectas como son el número de deportados que recibe el Gobierno Ecuatoriano y los eventos reportados por autoridades migratorias de otros países como Estados Unidos y México.

Además, en la frontera sur de Perú, la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) ha identificado grandes flujos de entradas y salidas de migrantes. Por su parte, la emigración de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela (en adelante, Venezuela) sigue siendo alta, pero se observa un aumento de retornos a este país también.

Durante los primeros seis meses del 2023, las entradas irregulares aumentaron significativamente en Panamá y Honduras, registrando números récord de migrantes en sus puntos fronterizos. Este aumento está relacionado en parte con la apertura del Programa de Regularización Humanitaria en los Estados Unidos, que acordó tramitar al menos 30 000 autorizaciones de viaje al mes.

A junio de 2023, la frontera terrestre entre Panamá y Colombia ha registrado un crecimiento interanual del 90 por ciento, con 196 371 entradas irregulares, mientras que la frontera suroeste de Estados Unidos ha experimentado un descenso interanual del 12 por ciento. A pesar de este decrecimiento general de encuentros, se observa un incremento del 6 por ciento de encuentros en el grupo específico de familias en la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos. Es importante destacar que el 11 de mayo de 2023 finalizó la vigencia del Título 42.

Los factores que impulsan este crecimiento incluyen las crisis económicas en América Latina y los efectos económicos de la pandemia que aún perduran, cambios en las políticas, inseguridad alimentaria, inestabilidad política y violencia en algunos países de origen, así como vulnerabilidades relacionadas con la degradación ambiental y desastres.

En paralelo a los movimientos irregulares, la región también ha experimentado un incremento en los movimientos regulares entre algunos países, como el incremento del 32 por ciento en la cantidad de visas para trabajadores en Estados Unidos (1).

Las remesas recibidas en países de América Latina y el Caribe han incrementado cerca del 11 por ciento entre 2021 y 2022. El flujo de migrantes retornados disminuyó en El Salvador, Honduras y Guatemala durante enero a mayo de 2023. Trágicamente, en el periodo de enero a junio de 2023, se registraron 449 vidas perdidas de migrantes en Norteamérica, Centroamérica, el Caribe y Suramérica

El año 2023 estuvo marcado por la alta movilidad migratoria en el continente americano, caracterizada por una dualidad en la que predominaron los movimientos regulares, con una menor proporción de movimientos irregulares. Esto estuvo acompañado por una creciente necesidad de medidas de protección, integración y regularización.

Las migraciones en las Américas ocurren, tanto dentro de las subregiones (Centroamérica, Caribe y sobre todo América del Sur) como a nivel continental, principalmente desde el sur, el Caribe y Centroamérica hacia México y Estados Unidos, pero con retornos (tanto voluntarios como involuntarios) desde esa frontera hacia los países de origen de migrantes y refugiados centroamericanos y algunos suramericanos

A nivel general en el continente, los principales factores para emigrar figuran los motivos económicos y laborales, pero también aquellos relacionados a la inseguridad (sobre todo en Ecuador y Haití) y a factores políticos. En 2023 en Ecuador, según datos de la Policía Nacional, hubo 7 592 muertes violentas, equivalente a una tasa de homicidio superior a 40 por cada 100 000 habitantes. Este número muestra un incremento del 65 por ciento en comparación con las 4 603 muertes registradas en 2022 (Statista, 2023).

Respecto a la situación económica en América Latina, la recuperación económica post pandemia ha sido desigual entre los países de la región y hacia dentro de los territorios nacionales, generando desigualdades que empujan a las personas a emigrar. La inflación ha tenido una caída en su dinámica, sin embargo, la tasa permanece en niveles superiores a los observados antes de la pandemia (CEPAL, 2023), especialmente en Argentina (INDEC, 2024).

En cuanto al desempeño económico de América Latina y el Caribe, para 2024 se espera que continúe el bajo crecimiento de las economías de la región. Se anticipa una desaceleración en la creación de empleo y un aumento del desempleo. Persisten las importantes brechas de género y los elevados niveles de informalidad laboral (CEPAL, 2023). Dichos factores sumados a la disponibilidad o falta de vías regulares para la migración, han influenciado los perfiles migratorios de muchos países del continente.

A continuación, se señalan datos e información reciente sobre tres aspectos de la movilidad humana en el continente, relacionado a salvar vidas y protección, desplazamiento y vías regulares para la migración. Estos aspectos corresponden a los 3 objetivos del nuevo Plan Estratégico Global de la OIM 2024-2028 y ofrecen la evidencia disponible para informar soluciones, políticas y decisiones.

En 2023, se reportaron 1 148 casos de migrantes fallecidos o desaparecidos en América. Estos trágicos sucesos están vinculados a la ausencia de vías seguras y legales para la migración, lo cual incrementa la probabilidad de que los migrantes elijan rutas irregulares y peligrosas. Las principales causas de los incidentes fueron el ahogamiento, accidentes vinculados al transporte y las condiciones ambientales extremas y el albergue inapropiado. Casi la mitad de las víctimas identificadas fueron hombres adultos, en menor medida las mujeres adultas, siete por ciento eran niños, niñas y adolescentes. Asegurar una migración segura es el objetivo principal en este sentido.

Given the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI)’s reliance on rain-fed agriculture,changing rainfall patterns linked to climate change are compromising the ability of farmers, livestock rearers and fishers to sustain their livelihoods. Reduced rainfall may decrease agricultural yields and herds, causing economic losses and forcing some families to abandon these livelihoods altogether. 

The International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Iraq developed a rapid, multi-sectoral assessment of challenges related to displacement, environmental hazards, irrigation water supply, livelihoods, coping strategies and tension and conflict over natural resources. Data collection for this assessment took place between September and December 2023 in 804 locations across 3 governorates, 20 districts and 71 subdistricts in KRI.

The impact of climate change is less noticeable and more localized in KRI than in central and southern Iraq. No climate-induced displacement, secondary displacement or failed returns were recorded in KRI this round.

The findings suggest that climactic impacts are more widespread in Erbil than Sulaymaniyah governorates but families in Erbil have been slightly more able to adapt by employing a wider range of coping strategies like diversifying livelihoods and changing agricultural activities. On the other hand, the wider range of water-related issues reported in Sulaymaniyah, such as agricultural intensification and broken or inefficient water infrastructure, offer numerous entry points for programmatic interventions.

DTM Europe gathers, validates and disseminates information on migrants and refugees travelling through the Mediterranean, Western African Atlantic, and Western Balkan routes to Europe. Key routes include:

  • Eastern Mediterranean route (EMR): Bulgaria, Cyprus and Greece
  • Central Mediterranean route (CMR): Italy and Malta
  • Western Mediterranean route (WMR): Peninsular Coasts of Spain, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla
  • Western African Atlantic route (WAAR): Canary Islands of Spain

DTM also monitors data on migrants in transit through the Western Balkans (WB) region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania, and Kosovo*). These are considered separately to prevent to the extent possible the double counting of the same persons that cross multiple borders to reach Europe.

This report presents the latest available data and trends, focusing on 2023:

  • Mixed Migration Flows to Europe
  • Migrant Flows Monitoring in the Republic of Türkiye
  • First Arrival countries (Italy, Greece, Spain) and other countries of first arrival (Bulgaria, Cyprus and Malta)
  • Transits through the Western Balkan region
  • Migrants' presence, in Europe and the Republic of Türkiye

This study explores the influence of climate change and environmental degradation on international migration patterns from Iraq. In particular, the assessment identifies climate-affected subdistricts of origin for potential emigrants and analyses key migration trends among this group, such as demographic characteristics, reasons for leaving, intended destination and travel arrangements. In doing so, the report highlights priority geographic areas for further assessment and climate-related programming. The potential interaction between climate change and other drivers of migration is also considered. Moreover, the analysis sheds light on the profile and intention of those in movement. Furthermore, mediating factors, such as financial means and social networks, are examined to understand how aspiring migrants are able to undertake these journeys. Lastly, risk factors for exploitation and abuse are highlighted to inform relevant programming such as protection services, awareness raising campaigns and broader policy reform.

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. Districts covered in this round include Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Dayniile, Gaalkacyo, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, Luuq.

ETT is a crisis-based tool that tracks sudden displacement triggered by specific events or emerging crises. The objective of ETT is to help prioritize humanitarian response and to enable partners to deliver rapid assistance. Based on previous shock induced displacement patterns, the humanitarian community expects that people will continue to move toward urban areas in search of humanitarian services. Consequently, the ETT coverage focuses on the main urban centers and surrounding villages for each assessed district. The data is collected through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) at the location level, from Sunday to Wednesday every week. It includes information on new arrivals, numbers and demographic of IDPs, reasons for displacement, intentions, humanitarian assistance and priority needs among others.

The ETT tool also adapts to regional contexts: because of the very high number of IDP sites in Khada and Daynile districts in Banadir region and in Baidoa district in Bay region, a zonal approach has been adopted for these areas. Each week, KIIs are first conducted at the zone level to indicate to the field teams which locations have received the most new arrivals and which need to be assessed. To facilitate the joint analysis of the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Cluster’s New Arrivals Tracker (NAT) and ETT data, the assistance and needs indicators are identical in both tools.

Sudan hosts an estimated 10,540,215 internally displaced persons (IDPs) as of 16 June 2024, including those displaced both before and after the outbreak of conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on 15 April 2023.1 An estimated 7,720,119 individuals were displaced internally since 15 April 2023, many of whom were initially displaced prior to the onset of the conflict and therefore experienced secondary or tertiary displacement. An estimated 2,196,355 individuals reportedly crossed borders into neighbouring countries since 15 April 2023. 

 

This report analyses displacement movements and key demographic information for the total population of IDPs across Sudan, as well as data on mixed cross-border movements into neighbouring countries.
