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 27 April 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,067 households (HH) (6,402 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 21 and 27 April 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 39 households (234 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma'rib (34 HHs) – Ma'rib (21 HH), Ma'rib City (11 HH), Harib (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ma'rib and Al Hodeidah.
• Taiz (5 HHs) – Jabal Habashi (4 HHs), As Silw (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.

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

• Ma'rib (8 HHs) – Al Jubah (2 HHs), Majzar (2 HHs), Bidbadah (1 HH) districts.
• Ta'iz (7 HH) – Maqbanah (4 HHs), Al Misrakh (1 HH), Al Qahirah (1 HH) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (5 HH) – Bayt Al Faqih (1 HH), Al Mansuriyah (1 HH), As Salif (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 9 displaced households in the previous reporting period, which covered 14 - 20 April 2024, in the governorates of Ta'iz (4 HHs), Ma'rib (4 HHs), and Al Hodeidah (1 HH). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

This information was gathered following an armed attack that occurred on 25 April 2024, in the commune of Delmas, specifically in the neighborhood of Cité Numéro 2. As a result of this incident, individuals who were sheltered in three sites located in the neighborhood of Cité Numéro 2 and Carrefour Pean completely evacuated these sites, leading to the displacement of internally displaced persons (IDPs). In total, 1,629 individuals were displaced from these three sites, along with residents from the Cité Numéro 2 neighborhood. The IDPs headed towards the communes of Port-au-Prince and Delmas. Among them, 29% found refuge with host families, while 71% settled in four sites, including two newly established sites and two existing sites. Updates will be provided as the destinations of other individuals are identified.
