Depuis 2020, la province de Bujumbura Rural, commune de Mutimbuzi, zone de Gatumba a été récurremment touchée par de fortes inondations affectant plusieurs milliers de personnes. Ces catastrophes naturelles ont engendré des déplacements massifs et la création de sites temporaires d'accueil à Kinyinya II et Sobel (Maramvya) afin de comprendre pleinement l'impact de ces événements et d'élaborer des stratégies de réponse adaptées, l'OIM a lancé une enquête de profilage en octobre 2023. Cette étude méticuleuse a permis de profiler 1 267 ménages déplacés, soit 3 889 personnes, dont certains ont depuis bénéficié d'une assistance pour retourner dans leurs foyers.

L'objectif de cette enquête était double : d'une part, évaluer les besoins immédiats des populations affectées pour orienter l'assistance humanitaire, et d'autre part, recueillir des données pour soutenir la planification à long terme en vue d'une résilience accrue face aux futures crises. Les résultats, qui seront présentés en détail dans ce rapport, révèlent non seulement l'étendue des défis auxquels sont confrontés ces ménages, mais aussi leur résilience et leurs perspectives d'avenir

Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.

In November 2023, a total of 318 alerts were reported, comprising 262 events (82%) and 56 movements (18%). These reported events included farmer-herder conflicts, inter and intra-community tensions, and other incidents such as hippopotamus attacks on farms and residents in Shelleng LGA of Adamawa state. Lau and Zing LGAs in Taraba state recorded the highest number of alerts, with 19 and 17 per cent, respectively. Following closely were Demsa (16%), Shelleng (14%), Lamurde (9%), Girei (8%), Guyuk (8%), Mayo-belwa (5%), and Numan (4%). Disaggregated ward-level data suggested that Nassarawo Demsa ward in Demsa Local Government Area (LGA) of Adamawa state documented the highest number of alerts at the ward administrative level at 8 per cent. Monkin and Zing wards in Zing LGA of Taraba state are following closely with 5 per cent of reported event alerts.
The reported event alerts indicated a 1 per cent instance of population displacement, while 19 per cent of the alerts resulted in casualties or injuries.

On December 18th, armed attacks occurred in the city center of Ganthier, located in the 5th communal section of Pays Pourri, within the commune of Ganthier. This dashboard update provides the latest information on ETT 32.

These clashes resulted in the displacement of approximately 551 households, comprising a total of 2,740 individuals. The majority of the displaced people (71%) sought refuge with host families, while 29% settled in 4 sites situated in the 3rd communal section of Fond Parisien, within the same commune.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations agency for migration in Costa Rica has implemented since 2021, two rounds of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) as part of its strategy to monitor the circular migratory flow of individuals of Nicaraguan nationality at unofficial border points in various cantons in the northern part of the country. Through this exercise at three unofficial entry points along the border with Nicaragua, a total of 60,697 migratory movements were recorded, of which 59 percent were departures and 41 percent were entries.

As a fundamental part of IOM's mission to provide key advice on migration policies and practices, it becomes necessary to update the data concerning this circular migration flow of Nicaraguans crossing both regularly and irregularly through the northern border of Costa Rica.

According to the records from the General Directorate of Migration and Immigration (DGME) regarding regular entries and departures through official border posts in Los Chiles and Peñas Blancas, in 2022, there were 394,730 regular migratory movements, of which 49.7 percent were entries and 50.3 percent were departures. From January to October 2023, a total of 419,925 movements were registered: 52 percent were entries and 48 percent were departures.

La Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM), como agencia de las Naciones Unidas en materia de migración en Costa Rica, implementó, desde 2021, dos rondas de la Matriz  de Seguimiento al Desplazamiento (DTM por sus siglas en inglés) como parte de su estrategia de monitoreo del flujo migratorio circular de personas de nacionalidad nicaragüense, en puntos fronterizos no oficiales, en distintos cantones del norte del país. A partir de este ejercicio en tres puntos de ingreso no oficial de la frontera con Nicaragua, se contabilizaron 60 697 movimientos migratorios, de los cuales el 59 por ciento fueron egresos y 41 por ciento ingresos.

Siendo parte fundamental de la misión de OIM brindar asesoría clave sobre políticas y prácticas migratorias, se vuelve necesario actualizar los datos de este flujo migratorio circular de nicaragüenses que cruzan tanto de forma regular como irregular la frontera norte de Costa Rica.

Según los registros de la DGME de ingresos y egresos regulares por puestos fronterizos oficiales en Los Chiles y Peñas Blancas, en 2022 hubo 394 730 movimientos migratorios regulares de los cuales el 49,7 por ciento fueron ingresos y 50,3 por ciento egresos, mientras que de enero a octubre de 2023 en total se registraron 419.925 movimientos: el 52 por ciento fueron ingresos y el 48 por ciento egresos.

Between August and September 2023, IOM’s DTM deployed Site Assessment (SA) Round 34 and Village Assessment Survey (VAS) Round 17, carrying out a multisectoral location assessment. It is to be noted that Amhara region was largely uncovered this round due to increased insecurity, and both the IDP and returning IDP caseloads should likely be higher.

According to data collected through the Site Assessment round 34 August and September 2023, an estimated 3,459,881 IDPs (701,449 IDP households) were internally displaced across 2,544 assessed, accessible sites in Ethiopia. Conflict is the primary cause of displacement and displaced 2.2 million IDPs (64.66%), followed by drought which displaced an estimated 612,250 IDPs (17.7%). Somali region hosts the highest number of IDPs primarily displaced by drought nationwide (an estimated 410,749 individuals or 67.1% of the national drought caseload), while Tigray region hosts the highest number of IDPs primarily displaced by conflict nationwide (an estimated 943,285 individuals or 42.2% of the national conflict caseload).

According to the data collected through the Village Assessment Survey round 17 between August and September 2023, there were an estimated 2,530,101 returning IDPs (552,773 returning IDP households) across 2,072 assessed, accessible villages in Ethiopia. The highest returning IDP caseloads nationwide were in the regions of Tigray (1,503,141 returning IDPs, 59.41%), Amhara (an estimated 389,937 returning IDPs, 15.41%) and Afar (an estimated 222,894 returning IDPs, 8.81%).

• Over 550,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan. IOM estimates that more than 109,000 among them are Chadian returnees and expects this number to rise to 150,000 by the end of March 2024, due to renewed conflict in Darfur.

• In coordination with CNARR and humanitarian organizations, IOM has counted 86,604 returnees and counted 346 third-country nationals (from South Sudan, Niger, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Uganda) in 41 localities in three provinces.

• Most of the returnees currently live in spontaneous locations near the border and are in urgent need of food, water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter, household items, health, and protection.

• IOM is relocating returnees from Adre to a site in Tongori in coordination with authorities. In total, 7,567 individuals have so far been relocated. Separate designated ambulatory vehicles were used to transport the most vulnerable, including people with disabilities. Furthermore, IOM has supported the establishment of a site governance structure with representatives elected by the site residents and is supporting the establishment of community groups (women, youth, community watch, etc.).

• IOM is coordinating with local authorities, embassies and diplomatic representations for the safe transfer and voluntary return of third-country nationals (TCNs) from Ethiopia, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Cameroon to N’Djamena.

• IOM works with a range of operational partners in the returnee response including the Government of Chad, UNHCR, OCHA, LWF, PUI, UNICEF, MSF, UNFPA, LMI, ICRC, IRC, ACTED, the Chadian Red Cross, HELP-Tchad, ATURAD, Concern Worldwide, COOPI, INTERSOS, and WFP
