Internal displacement

This information was collected following various armed attacks that occurred in several neighborhoods of the capital since 05 February, in the municipalities of Carrefour, Cité Soleil and Tabarre. A total of 2,686 people have been displaced following these attacks, including 1,819 following attacks in the municipality of Carrefour and 867 following those in neighborhoods bordering the municipalities of Cité Soleil and Tabarre. The majority of displaced populations (94%) took refuge with host families and 6% in two sites (100 people at the Place Clercine site, in the municipality of Tabarre, which already existed before these incidents and 380 people were already accommodated there. Thus, around 480 people are now at this site. In addition, 54 people have taken refuge in a newly created site in the Ramoth de Marin school in the municipality of Croix-Des-Bouquets).

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 February 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 404 households (HH) (2,424 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 4 and 10 February 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 19 households (114 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Al Khukhah (6 HHs), Hays (3 HHs) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ma’rib (8 HHs) – Ma’rib City (6 HHs), Harib (1 HH), Ma’rib (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Sanaa.
• Ad Dali (1 HH) – Al Azariq (1 HH) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Sanaa City.

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

• Al Hodeidah (10 HHs) – At Tuhayta (3 HHs), Hays (3 HHs), Ad Durayhimi (2 HHs) districts.

These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

A second wave of attacks in northern Cabo Delgado (22 of January to 07 of February 2024) has triggered the displacement of 4,694 individuals (cumulating 10,037 from 26 of December 2023 to 07 of February 2024), affecting villages across Mocimboa da Praia, Muidumbe, Mecufi, and Macomia. DTM monitoring teams provide below cumulative figures as an update to previous Movement Alerts published (Movement Alert 92, Movement Alert 93 and Movement Alert 94). Of the total individuals displaced, 132 families with 426 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Mueda (Imbuhu, Mpeme, and Centro Eduardo Mondlane), 308 families with 944 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Macomia (Nanga A and Nanga B), and 45 families with 187 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Metuge (Naminaue and Bandar).

Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.

Between 27 November and 27 December 2023, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted Round 15 of the General Population Survey (GPS), a highly representative assessment of internal displacement in Ukraine. Fifty data collection experts conducted the assessment screener phone-based interviews with 20,000 randomly selected respondents and follow-up interviews with 1,517 IDPs, 1,541 returnees, and 2,002 residents, using the Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) methodology and a Random Digit Dial (RDD) approach. 

This report provides the main findings from Round 15 of the GPS, including detailed insights into population figures, displacement flows and mobility intentions, demographic profiles, household composition and vulnerabilities, and needs of the displaced population, to facilitate evidence-based decision-making on strategic, technical, and programmatic aspects of the response and recovery efforts in Ukraine. 

Since 2018, climate change and disasters, in particular torrential rains, floods and strong winds that occurred in Burundi affected 646,018 persons including 145,183 individuals that have been displaced. During this period, the main affected provinces were Bujumbura Rural (133,127 affected persons), Ngozi (113,686 affected persons) and Kirundo (107,377 affected persons). Alongside the severe human impact, these disasters destroyed many houses, infrastructures and crop fields in the country.

To monitor El Niño-related displacements, DTM Somalia runs ETT activities in 28 districts within ten regions in Somalia. ETT is a crisis-based tool that tracks sudden displacement triggered by specific events or  emerging crises. The objective of ETT is to help prioritize humanitarian response and to enable partners to deliver rapid assistance.
