Mobility Tracking

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.

This infographic presents the key findings of Round 53 of the mobility tracking and flow monitoring components of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme in Libya.

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, Belet Xaawo, Cabudwaaq, Dayniile, Dhuusamarreeb, Doolow, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, and 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.

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.

IOM Yemen DTM's Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on estimated numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis from their locations of origin or displacement, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of estimated numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 1 January to 31 August 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 2,319 households (HH) (13,914 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 25 and 31 August 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 40 households (240 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma'rib (26 HHs) – Ma'rib City (21 HHs), Ma'rib (4 HHs), Raghwan (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta'iz and Al Hodeidah.
• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Al Khukhah (7 HHs), Hays (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Taiz.
• Taiz (5 HH) – Al Makha (4 HHs), Al Misrakh (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah.

The majority of people moved from the following governorates and districts:

• Al Hodeidah (16 HHs) – At Tuhayta (4 HHs), Hays (4 HHs), Al Jarrahi (2 HHs) districts.
• Ta'iz (6 HHs) – At Taiziyah (2 HHs), Maqbanah (2 HHs), Al Makha (1 HH) districts.
• Al Mahwit (4 HHs) – At Tawilah (2 HHs), Melhan (2 HHs) districts.

IOM identified 45 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 18 - 24 August 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (25 HHs), Ta'iz (18 HHs), and Ma'rib (2 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

Between 19 and 25 August 2024, a total of 2,238 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Benue State. The new arrivals were recorded in Agatu, Katsina-Ala and Ukum local government areas (LGAs) of Benue State.

Between 19 and 25 August 2024, a total of 1,252 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Gwoza and Ngala local government areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.
ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: military operations (375 individuals or 30%), seasonal farming (322 individuals or 26%), poor living conditions (139 individuals or 11%), flood (128 individuals or 10%), family re-unification (110 individuals or 9%), improved security (87 individuals or 7%), fear of attack (47 individuals or 4%) and access to humanitarian support (44 individuals or 3%).

Debido a su ubicación geográfica Honduras se encuentra dentro de la ruta migratoria hacia el norte de América, específicamente hacia los Estados Unidos de América, México y el Canadá. Las personas migrantes en tránsito ingresan al territorio hondureño especialmente a través de los municipios fronterizos y de tránsito Trojes, El Paraíso y Danlí. Según los registros del Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) hasta junio del 2024 aproximadamente 243.765 personas migrantes han ingresado al país, de esta cantidad el 46 por ciento son de origen venezolano, 17 por ciento de origen cubano, seis por ciento de origen ecuatoriano y seis por ciento de origen haitiano1.

Actualmente en Honduras, las personas migrantes en condición irregular ingresan para seguir su ruta migratoria viajando con grupos de familia, amigos o conocidos y solos, de estos grupos destacan personas de la nacionalidad de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela (66 por ciento), Cuba (17 por ciento), Colombia (7 por ciento), Ecuador y otras nacionalidades (5 por ciento).

Así mismo este informe proporciona información sobre por qué migran las personas, razones de impulso para emprender su viaje, principales necesidades en sus países de orígenes, migración por impacto de desastres, medios de transporte que utilizan para movilizarse, medios de comunicación y fuentes de información que utilizan para preparar su viaje. Así mismo, el informe presenta la identificación de perfiles, vulnerabilidades y país de destino.

En este sentido, este informe cuantifica el flujo migratorio para así dar respuestas a las necesidades de esta población y de este modo llevar a cabo coordinaciones entre actores involucrados para fomentar una migración ordenada, segura, y mejorar la asistencia humanitaria a favor de la población migrante que ingresa al territorio hondureño por la frontera Sur Oriente.

The Flood Displacement Summary summarizes DTM updates on incidents of flood-induced displacement across Sudan. 

Between 01 June and 26 August 2024, DTM Sudan reported 77 incidents of heavy rains and floods that triggered sudden displacement in Sudan. Rains and floods have displaced an estimated 136,455 individuals (27,291 households) from locations across 14 different states across Sudan. 

This report outlines incidents of flood-induced displacement between 13 and 26 August 2024. For information on earlier reported incidents, see Flood Displacement Summary (Update 002). 

Key Figures

• DTM observed 17 incidents of flood-induced displacement between 13 and 26 August 2024.  
• These reported incidents triggered the displacement of an estimated 18,620 individuals (3,724 households).  
• Approximately 8,932 structures were either partially damaged or destroyed by the rain and floods. 
• An estimated 47 per cent of individuals displaced due to floods were already displaced due to conflict.  

Compte tenu de la nécessité de disposer d'informations précises et agréées par les autorités, l'OIM, par le biais de la matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM), a mené des évaluations de suivi de la mobilité (Mobility Tracking - MT en anglais) depuis 2018. Ces exercices sont mis en oeuvre en RDC dans le but de fournir des estimations sur la présence, le nombre de groupes de population affectés (PDI, personnes retournées), les raisons du déplacement, la durée du déplacement et les besoins spécifiques dans des lieux définis. Les données pour l'exercice MT sont collectées sur une base semestrielle par des équipes d'enquêteurs formés, par le biais d'entretiens avec des informateurs clés et d'observations directes au niveau des villages. Au cours de ce processus, l'OIM s'assure de la participation des représentants du gouvernement pendant la collecte des données afin de promouvoir et de renforcer les capacités dans l'éventualité d'un transfert. Les données de l'OIM sont ensuite présentées et validées par la Commission de mouvement de population (CMP) de la province.

Les statistiques synthétiques présentées dans ce rapport sont obtenues à partir du cycle de MT le plus récent pour chaque province, qui s'est déroulé entre mars et mai 2024, afin de produire une vue d'ensemble de la situation du déplacement dans la région de l'est de la RDC. Les chiffres concernant les individus déplacés en raison de la crise du M23 sont extraits de la dernière analyse de la crise du M23.

Dans les quatre provinces de l'Est de la RDC, l'Ituri, le Nord-Kivu, le Sud-Kivu et le Tanganyika, DTM a identifié 5 647 465 personnes déplacées et 3 525 590 personnes retournées, présentes dans 71 pour cent des villages évalués. DTM estime que la plus grande proportion (45%) de personnes déplacées (2 561 136 individus) est installée au Nord-Kivu, suivie par 25 pour cent (1 395 604) en Sud-Kivu, 24 pour cent (1 360 577) au Ituri et 6 pour cent (330,148) au Tanganyika. Les raisons de déplacement les plus fréquemment rapportées par les populations déplacées résidant dans des familles d'accueil sont les attaques de groupes armés (87%), les conflits intercommunautaires (10%) et les catastrophes naturelles (3%). Il est estimé que 2-026 086 personnes ont été déplacées par la crise du M23 au moment de la dernière analyse de crise de la DTM.
