Internal displacement

This report is an update of the one published on 15 November (ETT 52.1) following armed violences since 11 November in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Port-au-Prince (MAPAP). In total, 40,965 people were displaced as a result of this violence, including 64% to areas located in the municipality of Port-au-Prince, 25 to Delmas and 9% to Pétion-Ville (see graph below). It should be noted that these figures represent the largest mass displacements observed within the MAPAP since DTM started the implementation of the ETT (see page 2). The majority of displaced people (90%; or 37,007 individuals) took refuge in 23 sites, including 4 that already existed before these incidents and 19 that were created because of this situation. In addition, 21 sites were emptied following these incidents, their populations have in majority left for new sites (see map below and/or this interactive map).

The GRANIT was conceived in 2021 in Dakar at the initiative of OCHA, IOM and REACH with the support of the Regional Sectoral Groups, UN agencies and NGOs. GRANIT seeks to create a forum of technical experts and information managers to pave the way for a regional, holistic and cross-sectoral analytical approach to inform the crisis preparedness and response phases. The aim of the monitoring tool is to track developments in the context in the target countries, using a multi-hazard approach. To this end, 15 indicators have been selected by the regional group of experts in emergency preparedness and response and GRANIT members. This report presents the evolution of the situation in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Togo, as of 30 September 2024. 

An estimated 910,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan, of which 209,153 are Chadian returnees as of beginning of November 2024. IOM expects this number to rise to 240,000 through to December 2024 due to ongoing conflict and food insecurity in Darfur.

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.

Between 17 and 18 November 2024, recent attacks and the pervasive fear of further violence by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) in Ancuabe district have triggered the displacement of approximately 1,854 individuals, representing 393 families. This sudden movement underscores the volatile security situation in Cabo Delgado, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of ongoing instability. According to the Key Informants’ responses, 50% of the individuals displaced mentioned food as the immediate humanitarian need followed by shelter (31%), and essential Non-Food Items (19%), as families struggle to cope with the trauma and disruption caused by these events.

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the country has confronted profound economic disruptions alongside widespread displacement. To date, 3.7 million people remain internally displaced (IDPs), while 4.4 million people who had been displaced have since returned to their primary places of residence. According to the World Bank, more than 9 million people in Ukraine are estimated to be living in poverty, an increase of 1.8 million people since February 2022. The pace of recovery in Ukraine is also projected to slow to 3.2 per cent in 2024 from 4.8 per cent in 2023, due to a smaller harvest and a persistent labour shortage. With millions seeking safety and stability, often while remaining in displacement, the challenges of maintaining livelihoods and accessing social protection are paramount, necessitating focused interventions to mitigate economic hardships.

This report provides a snapshot of livelihoods in Ukraine, focusing on income, social assistance and coping strategies, as well as exploring the relationship between income levels and displacement. Additionally, to better support evidence-based programming, the brief analyses the relationship between income and estimated eligibility for Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA). The analysis foregrounds the age and gender dimensions, highlighting that priorities, capacities and needs are unique to different individuals and notably vary based on the intersection of vulnerabilities, exclusion and discrimination.

The purpose of the emergency tracking tool is to collect information on sudden and significant displacements mainly triggered by security and climatic emergencies. The information is collected through key informant interviews and direct observations.
