IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme identified a total of 725,304 migrants from 44 nationalities in the 100 Libyan municipalities during round 52 of data collection (March - May 2024). The number of migrants in Libya has continued to increase slightly (+1%) compared to the previous round of data collection in line with a trend that started in December 2023.

The number of migrants identified by DTM Libya in May 2024 is the highest since DTM started collecting data in 2016 but remains lower than prior to the onset of conflict in 2011 when it was estimated to be around 2.5 million. Sudanese nationals have continued arriving in Alkufra and other locations in eastern Libya because of the ongoing conflict in their country of origin. DTM Libya has also continued observing an increase in the number of migrants, particularly in eastern coastal areas and western Libya as a result of greater livelihood opportunities, including in the sectors of construction, oil, trade, and agriculture, and in parts due to the relatively stable security situation in some municipalities.
