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 1 June 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,465 households (HH) (8,790 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 26 May and 1 June 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:

• Ma’rib (38 HHs) – Ma’rib City (19 HHs), Ma’rib (14 HHs), Harib (5 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Al Hodeidah.
• Shabwah (8 HHs) – Bayhan (8 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Al Bayda.
• Ta’iz (6 HHs) – Al Makha (3 HHs), Al Misrakh (2 HHs), Jabal Habashi (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Al Hodeidah.

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

• Ta’iz (12 HHs) – Mawza (3 HHs), As Silw (3 HHs), Maqbanah (1 HH) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Ad Durayhimi (2 HHs), Az Zuhrah (1 HH), Jabal Ras (1 HH) districts.
• Al Bayda (8 HHs) – Numan (4 HHs), Nati (4 HHs) districts.

IOM identified 50 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 19 - 25 May 2024, in the governorates of Ta’iz (35 HHs), Ma’rib (11 HHs), and Al Hodeidah (4 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

A massive landslide occurred on the 24 May of 2024 at 3:00 AM local time in the southeastern area of Maip Muritaka Rural Local Level Government (LLG, Admin 3) in the Highlands´ Enga Province. The disaster caused extensive losses and damages to communities downhill, also destroying livelihoods and key infrastructure. The IOM team in coordination with the National Disaster Centre (NDC) implemented a DTM rapid assessment in a host community to provide relevant and timely information to humanitarian counterparts regarding the situation and main needs from the affected population.

This report presents initial findings from the round one of Mobility Tracking conducted at host communities in the Maip Muritaka Rural LLG from 25-27 May 2024. The two communities assessed reported a total of 7,849 individuals from 1,427 households affected, with 1,650 individuals from 315 households displaced. Population estimates from the National Statistics Office for 2021 indicate that the entire population of the Maip Muritaka Rural LLG is of some 26,450 inhabitants. By this numbers, the current disaster has affected at least 21% of the entire LLG population.

Since 01 April 2024, DTM monitored numerous clashes across Al Fasher and other localities in North Darfur state. According to DTM field teams, clashes triggered widespread displacement across North Darfur state. As of 31 May 2024, approximately 129,825 individuals (approximately 25,965 households) were displaced in Al Fasher locality due to the numerous clashes since 01 April 2024.

The Focused Flash Alert provides a numeric breakdown of population estimates affected by the recent escalations from 01 April -31 May 2024. All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification.

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 information, see Focused Flash Alert North Darfur (Update 001). 

Between 22 and 26 May 2024, a non-state armed group (NSAG) attacked communities in Ngurbuwa and Gujba wards of the Gujba local government area. The incident displaced 732 households (4,734 individuals) and resulted in three fatalities and 12 injuries. Among the affected were 2,720 children, 1,038 women, and 976 men. The displaced population moved to neighbouring communities within Gujba LGA, including Katarko and Anguwar Gabar communities, and in Damaturu LGA, including Bayan Tike and Kasaisa villages. The attack resulted in the destruction of 867 shelters and the loss of many household possessions.

Of all the needs identified, shelter, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) were the most prevalent. Other needs included food, non-food items (NFIs), health services, and psychosocial support.

Following these events, DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff conducted rapid assessments to inform the humanitarian community and government/partners and to enable a targeted response. 

The north-east region of Nigeria grapples with a deeply intricate displacement crisis exacerbated by both human conflict and environmental factors. The non-state armed groups (NSAGs) perpetuate violence, driving large-scale displacement. The escalation of violence in 2014 triggered a multifaceted humanitarian emergency, leading to mass displacement across the area.

За оцінками МОМ, станом на 15 березня 2024 року близько 3 689 000 осіб залишалися внутрішньо переміщеними особами в Україні, тоді як УВКБ ООН зазначає, що ще 5 930 400 осіб були переміщені за кордон. За оцінками МОМ, станом на 15 березня 2024 року приблизно 4 455 000 осіб спонтанно повернулися до місць свого постійного проживання в Україні після періоду переміщення тривалістю щонайменше два тижні (внутрішнє переміщення або переміщення за кордон). З них 26% повернулися з-за кордону.

Для обґрунтування цільових втручань, спрямованих на зменшення вразливості, зумовленої поганими структурними та соціальними умовами в місцях повернення, Оцінка умов повернення (CoRA) надає детальні дані про те, де відбуваються повернення, яким чином ті, хто повернувся, є найбільш вразливими і чому.

Between 10 March and 11 April 2024, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted Round 16 of the General Population Survey (GPS), a highly representative assessment of internal displacement in Ukraine. The data presented in this report was commissioned by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and collected by 59 enumerators employed by Multicultural Insights through screener phone-based interviews with 20,000 randomly selected respondents and follow-up interviews with 1,428 IDPs, 1,639 returnees, and 2,266 residents, using the computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) method, and a random digit dial (RDD) approach. 

This report provides the main findings from Round 16 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 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.

Following the increase in localized displacement due to fires, DTM Sudan released the following report summarizing DTM updates on displacement due to fire incidents across Sudan, from 08 May to 21 May 2024.

DTM field teams reported five fire incidents across North Darfur (1), North Kordofan (2), White Nile (1), and Northern (1) states. Some fires were reportedly caused by increased temperatures and drier climate conditions, while others were due to household accidents.

Highlights 

• Fires displaced an estimated 575 individuals (approximately 115 households) between 08 May and 21 May 2024.
• Over 133 structures (126 houses and seven farms) were destroyed or partially damaged by the fires. 
• The fires resulted in localized displacement: the majority of displaced households sought shelter with host communities within the same locations.
