Iraq — Displacement Report 8 (November 2014)

From the beginning of January through 9 November, 2014 DTM identified 328,086 families, corresponding to an estimated 1,968,516 internally displaced individuals, dispersed across 2,003 distinct locations across Iraq. Continued insecurity in the governorates of Kirkuk, Anbar, Salah al-Din, Diyala, and Ninewa, led to an increase in displaced populations over the previous reporting periods. In particular, from 1 September to 9 November 2014, 203,652 individuals have been displaced following several localized conflicts affecting the central north region of Iraq. This is a marked difference from previous displacement movement trends which were predominately generated by major military offensives occurring in one specific area.
