IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on estimated numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis from their locations of origin or displacement, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of estimated numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks returnees who returned to their location of origin.                                                                    

From 1 January to 10 February 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 404 households (HH) (2,424 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 4 and 10 February 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 19 households (114 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Al Khukhah (6 HHs), Hays (3 HHs) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ma’rib (8 HHs) – Ma’rib City (6 HHs), Harib (1 HH), Ma’rib (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Sanaa.
• Ad Dali (1 HH) – Al Azariq (1 HH) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Sanaa City.

The majority of people moved from the following governorates and districts:

• Al Hodeidah (10 HHs) – At Tuhayta (3 HHs), Hays (3 HHs), Ad Durayhimi (2 HHs) districts.
• Ta’iz (4 HHs) – Al Makha (1 HH), At Taiziyah (1 HH1), Al Qahirah (1 HH) districts.
• Ibb (2 HHs) – Hazm Al Odayn (1 HH), Al Makhadir (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 44 households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 28 January - 03 February 2024, in the governorates of Ma’rib (22 HHs) Al Hodeidah (13 HHs) and Ta’iz ( 9 HHs) . These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

According to the latest available gures from the Turkish Presidency of Migration Management (PMM), there are more than 4.6 million foreign nationals present in Türkiye, 3.4 million of whom are seeking international protection. Most are Syrians (3,181,222 individuals) who have been granted temporary protection status. In addition, international protection holders from countries including Iraq, Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Ukraine constitute another group of foreign nationals. According to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there were 296,685 refugees and asylum-seekers in Türkiye as of 2023. Moreover in 2023, according to PMM, there were 19,017 international protection applicants in the country, a figure released by PMM annually.
In addition, there are 1,119,238 foreign nationals present in Türkiye, holding residence permits. Compared to January 2023, this is a decrease of 235,469 individuals.

A second wave of attacks in northern Cabo Delgado (22 of January to 07 of February 2024) has triggered the displacement of 4,694 individuals (cumulating 10,037 from 26 of December 2023 to 07 of February 2024), affecting villages across Mocimboa da Praia, Muidumbe, Mecufi, and Macomia. DTM monitoring teams provide below cumulative figures as an update to previous Movement Alerts published (Movement Alert 92, Movement Alert 93 and Movement Alert 94). Of the total individuals displaced, 132 families with 426 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Mueda (Imbuhu, Mpeme, and Centro Eduardo Mondlane), 308 families with 944 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Macomia (Nanga A and Nanga B), and 45 families with 187 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Metuge (Naminaue and Bandar).

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.

Between 27 November and 27 December 2023, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted Round 15 of the General Population Survey (GPS), a highly representative assessment of internal displacement in Ukraine. Fifty data collection experts conducted the assessment screener phone-based interviews with 20,000 randomly selected respondents and follow-up interviews with 1,517 IDPs, 1,541 returnees, and 2,002 residents, using the Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) methodology and a Random Digit Dial (RDD) approach. 

This report provides the main findings from Round 15 of the GPS, including detailed insights into population figures, displacement flows and mobility intentions, demographic profiles, household composition and vulnerabilities, and needs of the displaced population, to facilitate evidence-based decision-making on strategic, technical, and programmatic aspects of the response and recovery efforts in Ukraine. 

In response to recent movements, IOM Afghanistan re-launched its DTM Flow Monitoring activity at the beginning of 2024 to better understand the mobility dynamics at Afghanistan’s borders. Since 10 January 2024, DTM has deployed field teams at four border crossing points with the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRN) and Pakistan (PAK) (see map below) to conduct two interlinked exercises. The first is a headcount of all individuals entering or leaving Afghanistan (including returnees), also called Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), to gauge flow volume. The second is a survey of randomly selected Afghan national individuals or groups entering or leaving Afghanistan, also called the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), to understand the profiles, motivations, and vulnerabilities of the target population. This snapshot provides key findings combining various IOM data sources, including DTM Afghanistan’s FMC and FMS activities, DTM Pakistan’s Flow Monitoring of Afghan returnees, and IOM Afghanistan’s Cross-Border Post-Arrival Humanitarian Assistance (CB-PAHA) program, for the period 28 January to 3 February 2024.

Ovaj izveštaj pruža uvid u profile, iskustva i putovanja migranata koji su u tranzitu u Republici Srbiji. Podaci su prikupljeni od 15. do 29. decembra 2023. zajedno sa Komesarijatom za izbeglice i migracije Republike Srbije (KIRS). Ukupno je intervjuisano 112 migranata u šest centara širom zemlje (AC Banja Koviljača, PC Pirot, AC Obrenovac, PC Bujanovac, AC Krnjača, PC Preševo).

This report provides insights into the profiles, experiences and journeys of migrants transiting through the Republic of Serbia. Data was collected from 15 to 29 December 2023 together with the Commissariat for Refugees and Migrants of the Republic of Serbia (SCRM). Total of 112 migrants were interviewed in six centres (AC Banja Koviljaca, RC Pirot, AC Obrenovac, RC Bujanovac, AC Krnjaca, RC Presevo) across the country.

Since 2018, climate change and disasters, in particular torrential rains, floods and strong winds that occurred in Burundi affected 646,018 persons including 145,183 individuals that have been displaced. During this period, the main affected provinces were Bujumbura Rural (133,127 affected persons), Ngozi (113,686 affected persons) and Kirundo (107,377 affected persons). Alongside the severe human impact, these disasters destroyed many houses, infrastructures and crop fields in the country.

To monitor El Niño-related displacements, DTM Somalia runs ETT activities in 28 districts within ten regions in Somalia. ETT is a crisis-based tool that tracks sudden displacement triggered by specific events or  emerging crises. The objective of ETT is to help prioritize humanitarian response and to enable partners to deliver rapid assistance.
