Iraq — West Anbar Crisis Displacement Overview (2 January 2018)

DTM has been monitoring displacement movements from West Anbar governorate, particularly the districts of Ana, Al Ka’im and Ru’a, since January 2017. ISF operations to retake ISIL's last strongholds in West Anbar intensified in September and finished in November. As most IDPs transit through Kilo 18 and Hamman al-Aleel screening sites, DTM has activated a flow monitoring system for these two sites, in addition to the core DTM methodology of identifying IDPs at their location of displacement and return. 62,910 IDPs transited through Kilo 18 screening site since January 2017; 65,940 IDPs displaced from West Anbar since January 2017 and identified at their location of displacement, of these: 43,812 IDPs currently registered in camps; 22,128 IDPs identified in out-of-camp locations, including: 21,366 IDPs in private settings and 762 IDPs in critical shelter.
