During the reporting period, between 1 July and 30 September 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,089 households (HHs) (6,534 individuals) who experienced displacement at least once. This compares to 1,016 households (6,096 individuals) in the second quarter 2023 representing an seven per cent increase.

Since the beginning of April 2022, the number of tracked new instances of displacement has been declining with a truce held between conflicting parties until October 2022. However, the number began to light rise in the first quarter of the year 2023 (2,495 HHs) due to the renewed conflict in Harib (Ma’rib) and heavy rains and floods in Shabwah governorate.

The monthly average of household displacements in 2023 so far has been 511 with a high of 1,079 in January 2023 compared to an average of 845 in 2022 with a maximum of 2,453 in January 2022. 

The governorates with the highest number of new displacements are Ma’rib (494 HHs), Ta’iz (282 HHs), and Al Hodeida (218 HHs). These governorates are all located in areas that have been heavily affected by the conflict in Yemen.

Safety and security concerns as a result of the conflict were the main reason for displacement, accounting for 77 per cent (836 HHs) of the total, followed by economic reasons related to conflict, accounting for 23 per cent (248 HHs).

While displacement due to  other reasons and natural disaster reasons represented less than one per cent (5 HHs).

Between 27 September and 02 October, fear of attacks by Non-State Armed Groups in Mocimboa da Praia, Marere (Aldeia Marere, Nazimodja, Clugu, Luexete) triggered 4,695 individual displacements within the district. Reported families have taken shelter within transit shelters on the school grounds of Bairo 30, Mocimboa da Praia Sede.

An estimate of 190 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been identified with vulnerabilities. All reported displaced families walked approximately 30 KM from Marere villages to Bairro 30. An estimated 2,661 were children under 18 years old. Owing to prevailing security concerns reported by displaced families, intentions on duration of their stay in Bairro 30 remains uncertain. Movements in the region continue to be dynamic between Mocimboa da Praia host communities and
neighbouring district of Mueda (Mueda Sede and Awasse). Additional arrivals continue to be recorded in Bairro Ntende, Mocimboa da Praia Sede. Updates will be circulated to partners as soon as available.

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) - Movement Alert is to collect information on large and sudden population movements, and to provide support to humanitarian response partners by disseminating data on IDPs to support effective humanitarian response to the affected population. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation. The dashboard provides basic information on displacements, and additional information can be shared upon request.

La DTM a identifié 2 878 personnes affectées dont 190 personnes déplacées par les vents violents et des pluies torrentielles dans les provinces de Makamba, Ngozi et Cibitoke. 

To gain a better understanding of the presence of migrants, IOM initiated mobility tracking activities in provinces along Thailand’s border with Myanmar. Mobility tracking is designed to estimate the number of people living in communities in border provinces, including the number of non-Thai individuals, predominantly Myanmar nationals, who arrived postmilitary takeover. The activity provides critical baseline information regarding the locations and volume of Myanmar nationals in Thailand, allowing for better targeted programming and response. Mobility tracking is conducted by interviewing key informants over the phone or in-person. Key informants are usually officially recognized village leaders or similar authority figures who provide information on the demographics of their respective communities. IOM conducts this activity on a regular basis, aiming for bi-monthly updates, to maintain upto-date data on migrant presence in assessed communities. This report provides a snapshot as of August 2023. Highlighted districts in the map to the left represent areas in which IOM has collected data. Sometimes coverage is only partial. Across 641 assessed locations in 115 sub-districts and 44 districts, there are an estimated 263,000 non-Thai individuals. For reference, the overall estimated population in the assessed locations is 920,000 individuals. A quarter of the non-Thai population (60,000 individuals) are reported to have arrived since the military takeover in Myanmar. The three districts with the highest presence of non-Thai individuals identified are Mae Sot (74,000 ind.) in Tak province as well as Mueang Ranong (57,000 ind.) and Kra Buri (20,000 ind.), both in Ranong province.

La Matrice de Suivi des Déplacements de l’OIM est un système mis en œuvre dans le but de capturer, analyser et disséminer des informations pour mieux comprendre les mouvements et les besoins des personnes déplacées internes (PDI) au Burundi. L'évaluation de base vise à fournir des informations sur la présence des PDI par colline qui sont catégorisés en deux groupes : Personnes déplacées internes (PDI) incluant les PDI retournées dans leur colline d'origine mais pas dans leur maison et les rapatriés devenus PDI. L'évaluation de base recueille également des informations sur la cause du déplacement et le type d'abri accueillant les PDI. La collecte des données est effectuée quatre fois par an par des volontaires formés de la Croix-Rouge du Burundi et opérant à tous les niveaux administratifs : provinces, communes et collines.

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix is a comprehensive system to analyse and disseminate information to better understand the movements and needs of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Burundi. The baseline assessment aims at providing information on the stock (presence) by colline of IDPs which are categorized into two groups: Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) including IDPs who returned to their colline of origin but not their home and returnees who became IDPs. The baseline assessment also collects information on the cause of displacement and the type of shelter hosting IDPs. Data collection is conducted four times per year by trained Burundian Red Cross volunteers operating at all administrative levels: provinces, communes and collines.

Disasters have so far affected 95,170 individuals and displaced over 7,662 people as reported from January to August 2023.

Between September and October 2022, the International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (IOM DTM) undertook its third household-level multi-sector assessment of selected urban areas and camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in South Sudan. The assessment aims to:

• Quantify the prevalence of vulnerabilities and humanitarian needs across sectors, with a focus on food security, economic vulnerability and nutrition as well as selected indicators on shelter and non-food items (SNFI), education, health, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), protection (including child protection and gender-based violence) and mental health and psycho-social support (MHPSS).

• Generate a better understanding of urban displacement and migration, including return and relocation after displacement in South Sudan or abroad.

There has been slow progress in the humanitarian situation in South Sudan. People’s humanitarian needs continue to rise, driven by cumulative and compounding effects of years of conflict, sub-national violence, food insecurity, climate crisis and public health challenges. Conflict and insecurity, fueled by sub-national and inter-communal violence, crime, and wide-scale impunity, continue to be among the main drivers of humanitarian needs in South Sudan.

Based on the request of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), mandated OCHA, IOM, and REACH to implement Inter-Sectoral Needs Assessment that aimed to understand demographics, multi-sectoral needs (including the level of severity) and barriers to assistance as well as displacement patterns and household-level scale.
