Nigeria's north-central and north-west zones are afflicted with a multidimensional crisis rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves attacks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). During the past years, the crisis has accelerated because of the intensification of attacks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.

Between the 7th and 13th of February 2022, armed clashes between herders and farmers; and bandits and local communities have led to new waves of population displacement. Following these events, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff to inform the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected populations.

During the assessment period, the DTM identified an estimated 1,427 individuals who were affected by the attacks. A total of 1,406 individuals were displaced to neighbouring wards in the LGAs Bakori in Katsina State and Zangon Kataf in Kaduna State. A total of 33 casualties were reported, including 12 injuries and 21 fatalities.

This infographic presents the key findings of Round 40 of the mobility tracking component of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme in Libya.

DTM Libya identified a total of 635,051 migrants from over 44 nationalities in the 100 Libyan municipalities during Round 40 of data collection (December 2021 – January 2022). The data collected by DTM Libya shows that the number of migrants in Libya has continued to increase slightly compared to the previous reporting period (621,007 migrants in Round 39, October-November 2021) following a trend which started at the beginning of 2021. However, the number of migrants in Libya in December 2021 – January 2022 still remains lower than for the corresponding period in 2019 (653,800 migrants Round 29, Jan-Feb 2020).

Tropical Storm Gombe made landfall as a Category 3 Tropical Cyclone on Friday, March 11 at 00:00 GMT on the coast between Mossuril and Mogincual districts (Nampula Province). Further reports of damages have been recorded in Nampula and Zambizia provinces. Situational overviews across affected provinces report at least 400,175 individuals affected, 82 people injured, 20 people killed as well infrastructure damages to 301 schools, 691 classrooms and 16 health centres (INGD, 15 March).
