Internal displacement

The IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) collected data through Surveys with refugees in the Ukraine Response region from April to June 2024, conducting interviews with a total of 654 individuals in Estonia. This report explores different aspects of health care integration, focusing on the profiles of adult respondents, specifically those who intend to stay or have already established themselves in the country. The report focuses on their access to health care services and elaborates on their experiences and needs regarding health care during their displacement.

Key findings:

• 88% of those who reported experiencing health-related issues (30% of all respondents) have or live with people with chronic diseases or serious medical conditions, while 45% reported living with a person with visual impairment and 27% have or are with someone with mobility issues.
• Health related needs reported by the respondents include health care services (22%), mental and psychosocial support (6%), and medication (5%).
• 80% of respondents were registered with a General Practitioner (GP), 19% were not, and 1% were unsure.
• Reasons for not being registered included being refused by a doctor (42%), having no need (19%) and long waiting times (13%).
• 84% of children were registered with a doctor.
• The most reported barriers to accessing health care were long queues (45%), language barrier (13%), costs (7%), and unavailable services (3%).
• Only 17% of respondents used mental health support services.

Rainfall in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has impacted 8 districts, resulting in widespread damage and disruption. The highest volume of rainfall was recorded in Lakki Marwat district, leading to damages to houses, landslides, flash flooding, lightning strikes, and road closures. Reports indicate that approximately 163 infrastructure units have sustained damage in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 1 human casualty has been reported in different districts, along with the loss of about 40 cattle.

Since 01 April 2024, DTM monitored numerous clashes across Al Fasher and other localities in North Darfur state that triggered widespread displacement. 

Reported clashes displaced an estimated 328,981 individuals (65,933 households) between 01 April 2024 and 30 June 2024. 

The Focused Flash Alert provides a numeric breakdown of displacement due the recent escalations from 01 April -30 June 2024. All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification. For more information, see Focused Flash Alert North Darfur (Update 002) and (Update 001).  

DTM Sudan releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to provide immediate updates on specific incidents or armed clashes that spurred displacement.  Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list. For more granular information on displacement and mobility, see Sudan Mobility Update (03). 

During this reporting period, DTM teams recorded 6,070 new arrivals across 511 settlements in the 15 districts DTM is operating in. Floods induced the majority of new displacements (75%), with the other main causes being conflict (15%), drought (7%), other causes (2%), and eviction (1%).

La crise ADF dans la province du Nord-Kivu, principalement dans le territoire de Beni, s’élargit sur le territoire de Lubero, dans la zone de santé de Biena, dans le groupement Bapakombe depuis le 18 juin 2024. Cette incursion est accompagnée par plusieurs pertes en vies humaines, vols et incendies. Cela a forcé plusieurs villages (Kambau, Liboyo, Mbunia, Akwele et Manguredjipa) à se déplacer vers les villages de Njiapanda et Kaheku (Chefferie de Baswagha, zone de santé de Biena).

Ces ménages déplacés ont été reçus en majorité dans les familles d’accueil. Les besoins humanitaires sont considérables dans l'ensemble des zones touchées et risquent de s'aggraver encore sans une action urgente. En même temps, la situation sécuritaire et humanitaires se détériore d’avantage dans l’ensemble du territoire de Lubero dû à la crise M23 dans la zone de santé de Kayna. Cette situation nécessite une intervention urgente et multisectorielle.

Le territoire de Beni, dans la partie grand-nord de la province du Nord-Kivu, est confronté à une crise humanitaire aggravée par des conflits armés divers. Du 15 mai au 12 juin 2024, la crise ADF en territoire de Beni, notamment dans le village Mantumbi en zone de santé de Oicha et les villages Kabweke et Masau en zone de santé de Mabalako et Mandima, a accrue les tensions suite aux attaques récurrentes.

Également, les avances des hostilités liés à la crise M23 (à Kanyabayonga, territoire de Lubero) ont contraint la population à se déplacer vers les lieux considérés plus en sécurité, principalement dans la ville de Beni, dans les 4 communes de Bungulu, Mulekera, Ruwenzori et Beu. La situation à Beni se caractérise par une détérioration de l'accès aux moyens de subsistance, tant pour les populations déplacées que pour la communauté hôte et une aggravation des conditions de vie et des préoccupations croissantes en matière de protection. Les personnes déplacées se sont installées dans la communauté d’accueil qui a déjà reçu plusieurs vagues successives de personnes déplacées au cours des derniers mois.

Somalia has experienced numerous conflicts, inter-communal violence, and natural disasters since the collapse of the Somali State in 1991. This has led to large recurring waves of forced displacement both within Somalia and into neighbouring countries and beyond.

In 2024, Somalia is still recovering from the impact of the 2021-2022 drought, which affected the vast majority of the
country, estimated to be the worst drought in Somalia in over four decades. This historic drought was followed by a heavy
deyr rainy season in October-December 2023. During this period rainfall surpassed average levels in most areas of the
country, resulting in significant riverine flooding and flash flooding. Food insecurity remains high with four million people
(22% of the total population) estimated to be in IPC Crisis or Emergency phases.1 This series of natural disasters have led
to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of IDPs, causing the loss and devastation of livelihoods, further increasing
families’ vulnerabilities.

In this context, IOM Somalia’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) implemented its third round of the Baseline 2 exercise
in Somalia in the three states of Hirshabelle, Jubaland, and South-West State. Data collection for the remaining regions of
assessment is currently ongoing, and will be completed in September 2024.

Baseline 2, an area-based assessment, is the second step of Mobility Tracking implemented at settlement level and aims to quantify presence of population categories. For round 3, DTM Somalia is administered across 7 regions and 29 districts in three states namely Hirshabelle, Jubaland, South-West State from February to March 2024.

Following the release of the first edition of PROGRESS 2023 report, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has compiled a series of National Displacement Profiles based on end of year 2023 figures. These profiles offer insights into the latest end-of-year 2023 figures, aligning with the objectives outlined by the Data for Solutions to Internal Displacement Taskforce (DSID).

The profile provides a comprehensive overview of the demographic breakdowns and geographical distribution of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Libya in 2023. It delves into the primary areas of origin and displacement for IDPs, shedding light on the factors influencing their decision-making processes regarding the selection of solutions locations. Additionally, the report discusses the obstacles encountered by IDPs in their pursuit of durable solutions.

This compilation underscores the critical role of data in addressing internal displacement challenges and highlights the ongoing efforts to leverage data-driven solutions through collaborative initiatives like DSID.

La DTM Burundi a le plaisir de vous partager (dans le lien ci-dessus) des informations sur les urgences qui se sont produites au Burundi en dates du 17 au 23 juin 2024. La DTM a identifié 476 personnes affectées (95 ménages) dont 176 personnes déplacées (40 ménages) par les vents violents dans la province de Makamba.
