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 13 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,745 households (HH) (10,470 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 7 and 13 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 29 households (174 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (26 HHs) – Ma’rib City (14 HHs), Ma’rib (12 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Ma’rib.
• Al Hodeidah (3 HHs) – Hays (2 HHs), Al Khukhah (1 HH) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.

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

• Al Hodeidah (7 HHs) – Bayt Al Faqih (2 HHs), Al Jarrahi (2 HHs), Al Marawiah (1 HH) districts.
• Ma’rib (4 HHs) – Majzar (2 HHs), Harib (1 HH), Al Jubah (1 HH) districts.
• Dhamar (3 HH) – Al Hada (1 HH), Dawran Anis (1 HH), Wusab Al Aali (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 28 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 30 June - 06 July 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (15 HHs), Ta’iz (11 HHs), and Ma’rib (2 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

L'est de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC), en particulier le Nord-Kivu, est en proie à un conflit complexe et persistant. Ce conflit est caractérisé par la présence de différents groupes armés tels que le groupe armé M23, les Forces armées congolaises (FARDC) et leurs alliés respectifs, y compris les forces régionales de la Communauté de développement de l'Afrique australe, avec l'utilisation de munitions lourdes causant des dommages importants et des pertes en vies humaines dans les zones de déplacement du Nord et du Sud-Kivu.

Depuis le début du mois de juin 2024, le conflit s'est intensifié simultanément dans plusieurs villages des territoires déjà sous tension, dont le territoire de Lubero, qui est devenu le quatrième territoire du Nord-Kivu à être touché par la crise du M23, après les territoires de Rutshuru, Nyiragongo et Masisi. Ces affrontements, qui ont duré plusieurs jours, ont entraîné l'occupation par le groupe armé M23 de plusieurs villages et villes importants, notamment Kanyabayonga, Miriki, Luofu Kayna et Kirumba, ainsi que d'autres villages du territoire de Lubero.

Cette situation a entraîné d'importants déplacements de civils à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de la province du Nord-Kivu. L'extension de la crise du M23 dans les territoires de Lubero et de Masisi au Nord-Kivu a accentué et aggravé la situation humanitaire des personnes déplacées, mais a également créé de nouvelles vagues de déplacement de la population vers des villages considérés comme stables au Sud-Kivu. La ville de Goma et les zones adjacentes aux territoires contrôlés par le M23 au Nord et au Sud-Kivu, accueillent un grand nombre de personnes déplacées et manquent de ressources pour les soutenir suffisamment.

Depuis le 4 juillet 2024, le gouvernement des États-Unis a annoncé une trêve humanitaire de deux semaines, à compter du 5 juillet 2024, pour permettre une désescalade des tensions au Nord et au Sud-Kivu, la reprise des pourparlers en vue d'un règlement pacifique du conflit, et pour aider la population civile à accéder à une assistance humanitaire cruciale dans les zones de déplacement.

Depuis le début de la crise, l'OIM, par le biais de la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM), continue de mener une série d'évaluations rapides, y compris le suivi des situations d'urgence (EET/ERM), l'analyse des crises et l'enregistrement, avec pour priorité de répondre aux besoins d'information immédiats afin de comprendre la dynamique et les besoins des déplacements.

Ce rapport présente les résultats des évaluations menées dans les différentes zones de déplacement et de retour du 1 juin au 5 juillet 2024. Il couvre les déplacements et les retours liés à la crise M23.

Following the armed conflict in Sudan in April 2023, thousands of people were forced to leave the country and take refuge in Chad, mainly in the east. These Chadian nationals, who ahd been living in SUdan for many years, were registered by IOM in 41 displacement sites in the Sila and Ouaddaï provinces. The majority (61%) of the displacement sites are in the Adré sub-prefecture, and make up 55 per cent of the total returnee population in the two provinces. 

The aim of the assessment is to measure the profiles, vulnerabilities and needs of the populatiosn displaced by this crisis, in order to better orient pprogramming of durable solutions for the displaced population.

Data was collected through itnerviews with key informants (local authorities, village chiefs, IDP representatives and site managers) in villages and IDP reception sites, as well as through direct observations in these localities. 

This dashboard preents the results of assessments carried out from 03 Janaury to 08 February 2024, in 41 locations acorss the Ouaddaï and Sila proinces.  

Between 01 and 07 July 2024, a total of 1,893 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Damboa, Dikwa, Gubio, Gwoza, Hawul, Kaga, Kala Balge, Konduga, Mafa, Mobbar, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: poor living conditions (634 individuals or 33%), military operations (407 individuals or 22%), fear of attack (250 individuals or 13%), seasonal farming (240 individuals or 13%), improved security (208 individuals or 11%), attacks (85 individuals or 4%), family re-unification (48 individuals or 3%) and access to humanitarian support (21 individuals or 1%).

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.

During the period from the 1st to the 30th of June 2024, a sequence of events unfolded, resulting in the displacement of 7,381 individuals in Panyijar (4,476 individuals) and Tonj North counties (2,905 individuals). Insights gathered from key informants suggest that these displacements were primarily triggered by disasters, specifically floods. Consequently, these occurrences have given rise to pressing humanitarian needs, with affected populations highlighting shelter, food, and non-food items (NFIs) as their top three urgent requirements demanding immediate humanitarian intervention.

Six LGAs have been mapped as locations with IDPs in Benue State based on DTM Round 11 (March 2023). So far, the biometrically registered IDPs have covered the location of Makurdi LGA (16 camps and three host community sites), Guma LGA (eight camps and four host community sites), Logo LGA (two camps and host community sites), Kwande (one camp and host community site) Agatu LGA (three host community sites) and in Gwer West (four camps ).

The registration has shown that Guma LGA has the highest number of IDPs, with 60,445 individuals (17,636 households), followed by Makurdi with 36,062 individuals (9,415 households), then Agatu with 21,861 individuals (5,641 households). Kwande had 15,909 individuals (3,225 households), while Logo had 13,633 individuals (3,311 households). Gwer West which had the least registered IDPs had 12,721 individuals registered from 3,435 households.

During the registration, 20,044 individuals were identified with vulnerabilities and specific needs (including but not limited to serious medical illness) and were referred to UNHCR/FJDP for further support. All registered IDPs have received a biometric card with a unique number for easy identification. The registration is an ongoing process as this report is the fourth in this series.

Between 01 and 07 July 2024, a total of 2,607 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Benue state. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Agatu, Guma, Gwer-west, Logo, Nasarawa, and Ukum Local government areas (LGAs) of the conflict-affected Benue State.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: conflict/attack (1,651 individuals or 63%), armed banditry/kidnapping (539 individuals or 21%), communal clash(225 individuals or 9%), and farmers-herders clash (191 individuals or 7%).

The majority of the arrivals were from Agatu LGA, with 1,575 individuals, which accounted for 60 per cent of the arrivals for the week. This was followed by arrivals from Ukum LGA with 646 individuals, which accounted for 25 per cent of the arrivals for the week. A total of 191 individuals arrived from Loko LGA. These arrivals account for seven per cent of the arrivals for the week.
