DTM Yemen - Flow Monitoring Datasets - July 2024

In July 2024, the IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,345 migrants entering Yemen, a 26 per cent decrease from the total figure reported in the previous month (1,820 migrants). All migrants (100%) left from Bari Region in Somalia.

Among the total migrants recorded, 26 per cent were children, 22 per cent were women, and 52 per cent were men. 

Typically, Lahj serves as an entry point for migrants departing through Djibouti whereas Shabwah serves as an entry point for migrants departing through Somalia. During this reporting period, all recorded departed from Somalia to the coastal area of Shabwah Governorate. During the same period, no migrants departing from Djibouti to Lahj were tracked by IOM, likely due to measures taken by the government to combat smuggling. Since those measures were implemented, starting August 2023, the flow of migrants along this route has been nearly absent in the months that followed, with one exception in December 2023 when a boat brought 110 migrants to shore.
