Yemen — Rapid Displacement Tracking Update (11 - 17 February 2024)

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 17 February 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 496 households (HH) (2,976 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.
