Yemen — Rapid Displacement Tracking Update (18 - 24 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 24 February 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 552 households (HH) (3,312 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 18 and 24 February 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 21 households (126 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (16 HHs) – Ma’rib City (13 HHs), Ma’rib (3 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ma’rib and Al Hodeidah.
• Ad Dali (2 HHs) – Al Azariq (2 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Ad Dali and Ta’iz.
• Ta’iz (2 HHs) – Al Makha (2 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
