From 1 to 31 of August 2020 IOM-DTM estimates that 316 migrants entered Yemen and no Yemeni returns from Saudi Arabia or Horn of Africa. The migrant caseload has been primarily Ethiopian (83%) and Somalis (17%), with 59% of those tracked heading for Saudi Arabia and 41% towards Yemen. The migrants are predominantly male (75%), with 15% women and 8% boys and 2% girls also among the travellers. Through the August 2020 reporting period, the highest arrivals were observed at Shabwah governorate with 186 migrants entering at Eyn Bamabad monitoring point. METHODOLOGY: DTM’s global flow monitoring methodology aims to identify areas prone to internal, cross-border and regional migration. Mobility area assessments are conducted at the national level. DTM teams then collect information at the local level to identify key transit points. Enumerators collect data from key informants at the flow monitoring points: key informants may be transport staff, custom officers, boat operators or migrants themselves. Data is collected through a basic form combined with direct observations –enabling breakdowns. LIMITATIONS: Data collected for these exercises should be understood as estimations only. They represent only part of the total flows passing through Yemen. The spatial and temporal coverage of this data collection activity is therefore incomplete. In addition, although data is collected daily, it is collected only during peak hours. The portion of the flows that occur during the uncovered hours is not represented. Data on vulnerability is based on direct observation and should be understood as mainly indicative.
