Internal displacement

K 1. dubnu 2024 bylo v Česku podle vnitrostátních orgánů registrováno 338 736 uprchlíků z Ukrajiny, kteří žádali o dočasnou ochranu. Tato zpráva vychází ze smíšeného výzkumu se staršími uprchlíky, skupinou, která byla v předchozích výzkumech, označena za jednu z nejzranitelnějších. Ukazuje, že ekonomická soběstačnost a jazyková adaptace mohou být pro tyto osoby problematické. V důsledku toho jsou často závislí na vnější podpoře, kterou jim ve většině případů poskytují jejich rodinní příslušníci. Mnozí z nich, bez ohledu na svůj věk, chtějí pracovat a nebýt pro svou rodinu nebo společnost přítěží. To však může být náročné a pouze 12 % z nich má práci. Ti, kteří nepracují, často pečují o děti nebo postižené členy rodiny nebo se snaží být užiteční jiným způsobem. Tento způsob přínosu je potřeba uznat.

This report is based on a mixed method study conducted among older refugees, a group that has been identified by previous research, including that of IOM, as being among the most vulnerable. It shows that economic self-reliance and language adaptation can be problematic for these individuals. Consequently, they often depend on external support, which in most cases, is provided by their family members. Many of them, regardless of their age, want to work, and not to be a burden to their families or society.

Data collection took place between the dates of 13 February and 28 March 2024, resulting in 403 interviews with refugees from Ukraine. In 128 cases, additional information was collected during the qualitative interview phase.

Key Findings

• 77% of respondents had serious health specific needs
• 73% were registered with a general health practitioner
• Only 12% were employed, where 29% were working without a written contract
• 50% of employed respondents were working 160 hours or more per month
• One-third of respondents could speak Czech (35% of women, 30% of men)
• Over half the respondents couldn’t afford 2,500 CZK as an unexpected expense
• Two-thirds of respondents have a monthly household income of less than 12,500 CZK
• 82% of respondents reported at least one priority need

From January to December 2023, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) collected data on the Needs, Intentions, and Integration Challenges of refugees from Ukraine and Third-Country Nationals (TCNs) in 11 countries in the Ukraine Response: Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Romania, and Slovakia. Over the course of 2023, a sample of a total of 28,712 respondents were surveyed on displacement patterns and experiences, including access and barriers to health care.

Key Findings

• One-third (34%) of respondents stayed with at least one person (including themselves) with a chronic condition.
• 16% of respondents had or accompanied someone with at least one disability in 2023.
• Across all 11 countries, 54% of the people interviewed faced one or more challenges to accessing health care.
• Top barriers included long waiting times (30%) and the language barrier (23%).
• Top health needs reported were health-care services (41%), medicines (29%) and psychological counselling (5%).
• 37% of households needed to pay for both health-care services and medicine.
• 42% of respondents needed more information on health-care services, 17% on psychological counselling and 12% on medicine.

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. Districts covered in this round include Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Dayniile, Gaalkacyo, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, Luuq.
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. Based on previous shock induced displacement patterns, the humanitarian community expects that people will continue to move toward urban areas in search of humanitarian services. Consequently, the ETT coverage focuses on the main urban centers and surrounding villages for each assessed district. The data is collected through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) at the location level, from Sunday to Wednesday every week. It includes information on new arrivals, numbers and demographic of IDPs, reasons for displacement, intentions, humanitarian assistance and priority needs among others.

The ETT tool also adapts to regional contexts: because of the very high number of IDP sites in Khada and Daynile districts in Banadir region and in Baidoa district in Bay region, a zonal approach has been adopted for these areas. Each week, KIIs are first conducted at the zone level to indicate to the field teams which locations have received the most new arrivals and which need to be assessed.

To facilitate the joint analysis of the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Cluster’s New Arrivals Tracker (NAT) and ETT data, the assistance and needs indicators are identical in both tools.

يقيس تقرير تتبع حالات الطوارئ المناخية هذا (الترجمة العربية) النزوح الناجم عن المناخ في جميع أنحاء وسط وجنوب العراق. العائلات المشمولة في تقارير تتبع حالات الطوارئ هذه هي تلك التي أُجبرت على الانتقال من مواقعها بسبب الجفاف وندرة المياه والتدهور البيئي وعوامل مناخية أخرى.

وحتى 15 مارس/آذار 2024، لا تزال 23,364 عائلة (140,184 فرداً) نازحة بسبب العوامل المناخية في 12 محافظة. وتنتشر الأسر النازحة في 497 موقعًا. من بين هذه الأسر، أقل بقليل من نصف الأسر النازحة داخل منطقتهم الأصلية (47%). أكثر بقليل من نصف الأسر النازحة إلى مواقع حضرية.

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.

This assessment of suicidal behavior (suicides, suicide planning and attempts) among Internally Displaced Per-sons (IDPs) in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (ZMPAP) aims at highlighting the link between the migratory situation of Haitians and suicide risk. This risk is part of a complex context, with a charged history and a strong and anchored culture that must be taken into account when designing suicide prevention interventions.

With the aim of contributing to the collective effort necessary to reduce the risk of suicide among IDPs of the ZMPAP, this assessment suggests intervention methods structured around three specific axes:
➔ Strengthening the capacities and technical skills of state services in the areas of mental health and suicide prevention;
➔ Strengthening the psychosocial well-being of internally displaced people in Port-Au-Prince;
➔ Improving specialized mental health care and reducing suicide risk

The objective of this thematic report is to provide an overview of the International Organization for Migration (IOM)'s Data and Research Unit (DRU) data collected through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology and Site Assessment (SA) and Village Assessment Survey (VAS) tools deployed at the location level in Ethiopia between July 2019 and January 2023. Through the SA, sites hosting at least 20 IDP households are assessed and, through the VAS, villages hosting at least 20 returning IDP households are assessed.

This overview gathers and analyzes specific data records on displacement and returns related to drought and other climate-induced factors such as floods, landslides and fires.  

The Cross-Border Monitoring Report: Protection Risks and Concerns Among Travellers Crossing for Work data on labour-related protection risks among travellers passing through border crossing points monitored by IOM.

The main types of employment for incoming travellers were services, hospitality, and sales (29%); along with factory work (24%); Trained manual worker (15%) and unskilled manual labour (13%). For outgoing travellers, the main types of work were trained manual labour (36%); factory work (18%); Services, hospitality and sales workers (13%) and unskilled manual labour (6%).

The top protection concerns faced by these travellers were the provision of false information by employers regarding the nature of the work and working without receiving the expected payment.

The Cross-Border Monitoring Report presents data collected at border crossing points with neighbouring countries – the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Syrian Arab Republic and Türkiye – to better understand migration movements in the Middle East. The report and dashboard provide an overview of travellers’ movements, their main socio-demographic characteristics, employment status, countries of origin, countries of destination and main reasons for travel.

Between December 2023 and February 2024, Ibrahim al Khalil saw the most traffic with a total of 60,809 travellers and 12,998 vehicles passing through the border crossing point, whilst Fishkhabour saw the least traffic with 19,925 travellers and 1,099 vehicles passing through the border.
