Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), in collaboration with the National Institute for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (INGD), is pleased to share the Round 21 report of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in northern Mozambique. This report covers data collected during assessments conducted in Cabo Delgado, Nampula, and Niassa by INGD and IOM between May and June 2024. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the demographic and mobility profiles of 577,545 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 610,732 returnees displaced between 2017 and 2024 in Mozambique.

The report offers updated insights into the profiles of IDPs, and returnees affected by disaster and conflict, drawing on rigorous data collection, verification, and analysis across three(3) provinces. It highlights trends in displacement and return movements, emphasizing the ongoing need for data-driven, area-specific, and solution-oriented approaches to humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding interventions in crisis-affected communities.

IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme identified a total of 761,322 migrants from 44 nationalities in the 100 Libyan municipalities during round 53 of data collection (June - July 2024).

The number of migrants in Libya has continued to increase slightly (+5%) compared to the previous round of data collection in line with a trend that started in December 2023. The rise in the number of migrants in Libya can be at least partially linked to the continuous arrival of Sudanese migrants, particularly in Alkufra, because of the ongoing conflict in their country of origin. While the number of migrants identified by DTM Libya in July 2024 is the highest since DTM started collecting data in 2016 it remains lower than prior to the onset of conflict in 2011 when it was estimated to be around 2.5 million.
