Somalia — Kismayo Movement Trend Tracking Report (13—19 April 2018)

Over the reporting period, a slightly lower number of 218 entries were recorded compared to last week, and 44 exits were recorded – the highest number of exits since MTT started recording data 11 weeks ago. Like in other areas of Somalia at this time of year, higher-than-usual numbers of exits can be attributed to the rainy season, which is prompting families to return home to cultivate. Approximately half of the new arrivals said that their reason for displacement into the IDP sites was due to lack of food (34%). In addition, 26% cited insecurity, 20% cited health, and 14% cited education as their reason for displacement.
