Internal displacement

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. Between 1st and 15th July 2024, 8,834 returnees arrived in different counties within the country.

Half of the returns (51%) were forced to return from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to violence against civilians, 38 per cent displaced from Sudan because of the ongoing Sudan crisis, and 7 per cent due to improved security conditions in their destination areas in South Sudan. The influx of returnees has led to urgent humanitarian needs among the affected population. The top three immediate requirements identified by the returnees are access to shelter, food, and health in their respective locations of return

Between 08 and 14 July 2024, a total of 99 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Benue state. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Guma and Gwer-west Local government areas (LGAs) of the conflict-affected Benue State.

ETT assessments identified conflict/attack as the trigger for these movements in the state.

Most of the arrivals were from Gwer-west LGA, with 45 individuals, accounting for 45 per cent of the arrivals for the week. This was followed by arrivals from Keana LGA with 31 individuals, which accounted for 31 per cent of the arrivals for the week. A total of 23 individuals arrived from Guma LGA. These arrivals account for 23 per cent of the arrivals for the week.

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 20 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,821 households (HH) (10,926 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 14 and 20 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 57 households (342 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Taiz (22 HHs) – Mawza (11 HHs), Al Misrakh (6 HHs), Al Makha (3 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ma’rib (21 HHs) – Marib City (11 HHs), Marib (8 HHs), Harib (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Taiz and Marib.
• Al Hodeidah (10 HHs) – Al Khukhah (8 HHs), Hays (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Taiz.

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

• Taiz (27 HHs) – Mawza (11 HHs), Al Misrakh (7 HHs), Hayfan (3 HHs) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – At Tuhayta (7 HHs), As Salif (1 HHs), Ad Durayhimi (1 HHs) districts.
• Ad Dali (5 HH) – Qatabah (4 HHs), Juban (1 HHs) districts.

IOM identified 19 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 07 - 13 July 2024, in the governorates of Taiz (10 HHs), and Marib (9 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

An estimated 823,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan, of which 201,379 among them are Chadian returnees. IOM expects this number to rise to 240,000 through to December 2024. This is due to ongoing conflict and food insecurity in Darfur, owing to the current suspension of the humanitarian corridor between Chad and Darfur.

В ходе третьего раунда опроса международных трудящихся-мигрантов, проведенного в семи регионах и трех провинциальных городах, были опрошены 1810 международных трудящихся-мигрантов. Используя метод снежного кома для получения информированного согласия, опрос охватывал демографические данные, социально-экономические характеристики, статус занятости, миграционные намерения, причины миграции, проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются на работе, доходы, денежные переводы, жилье, медицинские услуги, финансовое положение, информацию о правах, местная реинтеграция, влияние санкций и уязвимости.

Costa Rica, like other Central American countries, has distinguished itself as a migratory corridor for the flow of people in mobility across the Americas. This flow is mainly composed of people from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, Ecuador, as well as other countries in South America, Africa, and Asia. According to estimates by IOM Costa Rica, approximately 33,022 people entered the country in June 2024, with a daily average of 1,101 people. This represents a 1% decrease compared to May 2024. Additionally, 937 stranded people were identified in monitored public sites and 981 stranded people in monitored shelters.

Los movimientos migratorios de personas nicaragüenses hacia Costa Rica son una tendencia constante, intensificándose por factores políticos, económicos y sociales y que representan desafíos continuos para ambos países en la búsqueda de respuestas en materia de políticas migratorias, que incluyan soluciones en empleo, educación, acceso a servicios básicos, entre otros.

Durante junio de 2024, la Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería (DGME) de Costa Rica, registró un total 41.846 movimientos migratorios (53% ingresos y 47% egresos), lo que además representó, con respecto a mayo, un aumento del 18% en ingresos y una disminución del 13% en egresos. Por otro lado, entre el 01 y el 30 de junio, la OIM en Costa Rica registró 15.082 movimientos migratorios en tres puntos fronterizos no oficiales (52 % ingresos y 48 % egresos). Además, se encuestó a 472 personas nicaragüenses (314 en puestos fronterizos oficiales y 158 en cruces fronterizos no oficiales) y 479 acompañantes (352 por puestos fronterizos oficiales y 127 por cruces fronterizos no oficiales).

Entender la dinámica fronteriza de quienes la transitan es fundamental en la comprensión de las necesidades de población migrante y la formulación de propuestas para su atención. Ante estos desafíos, es esencial disponer de información actualizada sobre el perfil sociodemográfico, motivos de migración, necesidades y la dinámica de los movimientos migratorios de persona nicaragüenses en la frontera norte de Costa Rica.

The migratory movements of Nicaraguan nationals to Costa Rica are a constant trend, intensifying due to political, economic and social factors and representing continuous challenges for both countries in the search for answers in terms of migration policies, which include solutions in employment, education, access to basic services, among others.

During June 2024, the Directorate General of Migration (DGME, by its Spanish acronym) of Costa Rica registered a total of 41,846 migratory movements (53% entries and 47% exits), which also represented, compared to May, an 18% increase in entries and a 13% decrease in exits. On the other hand, between June 1^st and June 30^th, the IOM in Costa Rica registered 15,082 migratory movements at three unofficial border crossing points (52% entries and 48% exits). Additionally, 472 Nicaraguan people were surveyed (314 at official border crossings points and 158 at unofficial border crossings points) and 479 companions (352 at official border crossings points and 127 at unofficial border crossings points).

Understanding the border dynamics of those who transit it is essential in comprehending the needs of the migrant population and formulating proposals for their assistance. In the face of these challenges, it is essential to have updated information on the sociodemographic profile, reasons for migration, needs, and the dynamics of the migratory movements of Nicaraguan people on the northern border of Costa Rica.
