Internal displacement

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 6 April 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 947 households (HH) (5,682 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 31 March and 6 April 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 34 households (204 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (32 HHs) – Ma’rib City (17 HHs), Ma’rib (10 HHs), Harib (5 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Ma’rib.
• Al Hodeidah (2 HHs) – Hays (2 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz.

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

• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Bajil (5 HHs), Az Zaydiah (2 HHs), At Tuhayta (2 HHs) districts.
• Ta’iz (5 HHs) – Maqbanah (2 HHs), Jabal Habashi (1 HH), Sharab As Salam (1 HH) districts.
• Ma’rib (5 HHs) – Al Abdiyah (3 HHs), Harib (1 HH), Raghwan (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 9 households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 24 - 30 March 2024, in the governorates of Ma'rib (6 HHs), Al Hodeidah (2 HHs), and Ta’iz (1 HH). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

To continually inform humanitarian responses in the MAPAP sites, the CCCM cluster and DTM conduct regular data collections in these sites to update information on the displacement situation in the sites.

This report presents the situation as of 04 April 2024. A total of 87 sites are active in the MAPAP hosting 89,007 IDPs, this represents 0,3% more compared to 22 March

In the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in North Kivu province, a prolonged and increasingly complex conflict persists, characterized by the presence of numerous armed groups, including the M23 group and the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) and their respective allies. Since the beginning of this year, the M23 has been advancing in the eastern part of the DRC, particularly towards Goma, which serves as the capital of North Kivu. Recent actions by the M23 suggest their intention to take control of Goma, potentially marking their second occupation of the city after a brief period of control in 2012.

Since the onset of the crisis, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) continues to conduct a series of rapid assessments, including Emergency Tracking (EET/ERM), Crisis Analysis and
Registration activities, addressing immediate information needs with a view to understanding displacement dynamics and needs. This report presents the results of assessments carried out in the various displacement and return areas from 14 to 29 March 2024.

Dans la région orientale de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC), en particulier au Nord-Kivu, un conflit prolongé et de plus en plus complexe persiste. Ce conflit est caractérisé par la présence de divers groupes armés, y compris le groupe M23 et les Forces Armées Congolaises (FARDC), ainsi que leurs alliés respectifs. Depuis le début de cette année, le M23 a progressé dans la partie orientale de la RDC, notamment vers Goma, qui sert de capitale du Nord-Kivu. Les récentes actions entreprises par le M23 suggèrent leur intention de prendre le contrôle de Goma, marquant potentiellement leur deuxième occupation de la ville après une brève période de contrôle en 2012.

Depuis le début de la crise, l'OIM, par le biais de la matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM) continue à mener une série d'évaluations rapides, y compris le suivi des urgences (EET/ERM), l'analyse des crises et enregistrement avec priorité de répondre aux besoins immédiats d'information en vue de comprendre la dynamique des déplacements et les besoins. Ce rapport présente les résultats des évaluations menées dans les différentes zones de déplacement et de retour du 14 au 29 mars 2024.
