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 10 August 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 2,077 households (HH) (12,462 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 4 and 10 August 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 55 households (330 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (36 HHs) – Ma’rib City (20 HHs), Ma’rib (11 HHs), Harib (5 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Hajjah.
• Al Hodeidah (18 HHs) – Al Khukhah (9 HHs), Hays (9 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ta’iz (1 HH) – Al Qahirah (1 HH) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Ibb.

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

• Al Hodeidah (28 HHs) – At Tuhayta (7 HHs), Al Jarrahi (7 HHs), Ad Durayhimi (3 HHs) districts.
• Ta’iz (6 HHs) – Maqbanah (4 HHs), Al Waziyah (2 HHs) districts.
• Hajjah (5 HH) – Mabyan (3 HHs), Hayran (2 HHs) districts.

IOM identified 41 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 28 July - 03 August 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (22 HHs), Ta’iz (11 HH), and Ma’rib (8 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

Following the beginning of the armed conflict in Sudan in April 2023, more than 750,000 people were forced to leave the country and take refuge in Chad, primarily in the east, as of June 2023. This includes more than 180,000 returnees who are Chadian nationals who have been living in Sudan for many years, and who have been registered by IOM at several sites in the Sila and Ouaddaï provinces. IOM organized a survey in December 2023 to gather detailed information on the current conditions of Chadian returnees and the communities hosting them, as well as on returnees' intentions to return. Consequently, 1,005 households were surveyed in Ouaddaï province and 589 households in Sila province.

Between 29 July and 4 August 2024, a total of 832 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Benue State. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Agatu, Guma, Gwer-west, Logo and Ukum local government areas (LGAs) of Benue State.

Between 29 July and 04 August 2024, a total of 1,590 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Damboa, Dikwa, Gwoza, Hawul, Kala Balge, Mobbar, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, and in Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Guyuk, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.
ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: poor living conditions (564 individuals or 35%), military operation (461 individuals or 29%), seasonal farming (214 individuals or 14%), improved security (88 individuals or 6%), fear of attack (86 individuals or 5%), government re-integration (82 individuals or 5%), family re-unification (56 individuals or 4%) and access to humanitarian support (39 individuals or 2%).

The EU-funded Individual Measure 3 (IM3) project "Sustainable support to persons displaced by conflict and natural disasters and their host communities in Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumz and Tigray” aims to sustainably enhance the protection and response to basic needs, for forcibly displaced persons and host communities in Ethiopia, with an emphasis on areas affected by natural and man-made disasters.

As a cross-cutting component of the IM3 project, IOM’s Data and Research Unit (DRU) carried out a Household Level Survey (HLS) with Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) households, returning IDP households and non-displaced resident households in Assosa and Assosa Town Administration zones of Benishangul Gumz region. The multisectoral household survey indicators are in line with global cluster standards, as well as frameworks to measure progress towards durable solutions.

KEY FINDINGS: 

• For IDP households, the most reported need was food (90%), followed by shelter (71.2%) and NFIs (54.7%). The largest share of returning IDPs reported NFIs as one of their top 3 needs (61.5%), followed by food (59.4%) and shelter (53.1%). Three in five non-displaced resident households reported a need for livelihood support (62.5%). This is followed by NFI support (59.5%) and needs related to WaSH (49.4%). 

• The most reported barriers finding employment were financial constraints or lack of access to capital (95.8%) and limited job opportunities in the field of work (85.5%). 

• Overall, 97.3% of household members (≥15yrs) had not participated in a TVET. 

• Notably, 98.6% of households reported they had not received any support related to their income generating activity or livelihood project. 

• High prices in markets was the most reported barrier accessing markets (94.2%).

• The most reported WaSH challenges for female dominated households were limited/no dignity kits (75.5%), limited/no soap for personal hygiene and handwashing (71.7%) and limited/no toilets that lock (50.9%). 

• Non-displaced resident households were the most likely to receive support from the local community (61.9%), followed by IDP households (50%) and returning IDP households (36.5%). 

• For households with no or limited valid IDs, limited movement was the most reported challenge (96.7%).

In South Sudan, a complex humanitarian crisis is unfolding due to various factors such as communal conflicts, land disputes, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and displacement across borders.

From the 16th to the 31st of July 2024, 9,186 returnees arrived in seven different counties within the country. All the recorded returnees were displaced from Sudan because of the ongoing Sudan crisis that started in April 2023. Most returns (2,517 individuals) cited Northern Bahr el Ghazal as their state of destination.

South Sudan is grappling with a multifaceted humanitarian crisis marked by significant internal displacements. The factors fueling these displacement dynamics are diverse, encompassing communal clashes, land disputes, insecurity, violence, disasters, and cross-border movements.

Between 16th and 31st July 2024, a series of events led to the displacement of 3,180 individuals across Aweil West (2,190 individuals), Jur River (522 individuals), and Panyijar counties (468 individuals). Key informants have indicated that these displacements were primarily caused by flood-related disasters.
