Iraq — Returnee Master Lists — Round 132

Since 2014, the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) unit in Iraq has collected information on internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees using a network of key informants across the country.1 Data for this round were collected from 1 January to 30 April 2024. For this current round, in contrast to prior ones, DTM excluded all the locations where the the key informant was not accessible; thus, some of the variations in the number of IDPs and returnees could be attributed to inability to obtain the most updated information.

• As of 30 April 2024, DTM identified 4,871,916 individual returnees (811,986 households).
• Increase of 8,844 individual returnees since previous round (+0.2%).
• The percentage increase in returnee individuals was smaller this round compared to the previous one (0.2% versus 0.4%). 

Nonetheless, the highest increase was observed in Salah al-Din Governorate (4,308 individuals) and Ninewa Governorate (3,306 individuals).
