Yemen — Rapid Displacement Tracking Update (20 March - 26 March 2022)

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 2022 to 26 March 2022, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 4,786 households (HH) (28,716 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.
