Yemen — Rapid Displacement Tracking Update (19 September - 25 September 2021)

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on 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 numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks Returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 01 January 2021 to 25 September 2021, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 11,186 households (HH) (67,116 Individuals) have experienced displacement at least once.

Since the beginning of 2021, DTM also identified 622 displaced households who left their locations of displacement and either moved back to their place of origin or another location.
