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.                                                                                    

• Ma’rib (20 HHs) – Harib (11 HHs), Marib City (7 HHs), Marib (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Marib and Ta’iz.
• Al Hodeidah (8 HHs) – Hays (5 HHs), Al Khukhah (3 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Lahj (2 HHs) – Tuban (2 HHs) district. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Al Hodeidah.

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

• Ma’rib (12 HHs) – Harib (12 HHs) district.
• Al Hodeidah (8 HHs) – Al Jarrahi (3 HHs), At Tuhayta (2 HHs), Al Hali (1 HH) districts.

These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

In November 2023, a total of 35,902 movements were observed across the six flow monitoring points (FMPs) in Ethiopia. This represents an 8% decrease in daily average movements in comparison with October 2023 when an average of 1,302 movements per day were observed.

Outgoing movements (74%) during November decreased while incoming movements (26%) increased compared to the previous month, mainly due to increased incoming flows of returning migrants to Ethiopia through different entry points. A total of 26,583 outgoing movements were observed, of which 11,272 (42.4%) were heading to Saudi Arabia, 5,706 (21.5%) were going to Kenya, 2,715 (10.2%) to Somalia, 2,651 (10%) to Djibouti, 1,225 (4.6%) to Sudan, 1,059 (4%) to Yemen, and 1,032 (3.9%) to South Africa, while remaining movements were to other Southern African, Middle Eastern, and North American countries.

At the same time, 9,319 incoming movements were observed, of which 3,906 (41.9%) originated from Sudan, while 2,158 (23.2%) came from Kenya, 1,666 (17.9%) from Somalia, 1,484 (15.9%) from Djibouti, and the remaining from Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Canada, and Germany. Most incoming movements were by Ethiopians (74.6%), followed by Sudanese nationals (23.8%). Returning Ethiopians departed from Kenya (31.0%), Somalia (24.0%), Sudan (22.5%), Djibouti (21.1%), and Yemen (1.4%) and the remaining travelled from United Arab Emirates, Canada, and Germany.

From 1 to 27 January 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 255 households (HH) (1,530 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 21 and 27 January 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 21 households (126 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:                 

• Al Hodeidah (13 HHs) – Hays (11 HHs), Al Khukhah (2 HHs) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ma’rib (7 HHs) – Ma’rib City (6 HHs), Ma’rib (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Amran and Ta’iz.

IOM identified 40 households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 14 - 20 January 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (26 HHs), Ma’rib (8 HHs), Ta’iz (6 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

Between 22 January to 02 of February 2024, a series of attacks in villages across Mecufi­ and Macomia, triggered the displacement 2,621. Of the total individuals displaced, 132 families with 426 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Mueda (Imbuhu, Mpeme), 17 families with 76 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Macomia (Nanga A and Nanga B), and 17 families with 61 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centres of Metuge (Naminaue).

This information was collected following armed attacks in the neighborhoods of Pernier and its surroundings in the municipality of Pétion Ville, in the neighborhoods of Drouillard in the municipality of Cité Soleil and the neighborhoods of Wharf de la Saline in that of Port- au-Prince. Attacks in Pernier and Drouillard began on 30 January 2024 and at Wharf de la Saline on 27 January. This report is an update of the one published on 31 January and further updates will be published according to the evolution of displacement. A total of 4,327 people have already been displaced following these attacks, including 2,411 following attacks in Pernier, 1,239 following those at Wharf de la Saline as well as 677 in Drouillard. The majority of displaced populations (60%) took refuge with host families and 40% in sites (1,731 people in 6 sites including 4 existing sites before these incidents and 2 new sites created following them ).

The onset of the war in Ukraine has caused substantial displacement of people both within the Republic of Moldova’s borders and throughout the neighbouring region. The refugee situation is coupled with significant movement flows of Moldovan labour migrants returning from abroad, in particular from Ukraine, the Russian Federation, and other neighbouring countries. The effects of the Ukraine crisis, combined with the lingering consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially change the Republic of Moldova’s migration dynamics, leading to a decrease in emigration and an increase in the number of Moldovan citizens returning home.
This may have severe long term effects on the already strained Moldovan economy hindering its capacity to respond to the humanitarian and economic challenges attendant to the Ukrainian crisis. There are major gaps in data on Moldovan returnees, including information on their socio-economic profiles, needs and vulnerabilities as well as their intentions for their future. To fill those gaps the International Organization for Migration (IOM), as the leading inter-governmental organization promoting humane and orderly migration, has conducted a survey with Moldovan returnees in order to assess how the war in Ukraine has affected them.

In order to increase the availability of evidence on rural to urban migration flows and trends, as well as needs, coping mechanisms and motivations of drought-affected persons, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Data and Research Unit (DRU), through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology, set up two internal Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in Gode and Jigjiga, two major urban centres in the Somali region of Ethiopia.

This dashboard focuses on data collected in June 2023 through the Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) tool in Gode and Jigjiga FMPs. In June 2023, 11,228 movements were observed, 7,006 of which were through Gode FMP (62.40%) and 4,222 through Jigjiga FMP (37.60%).

Between 22 January to 01 of February 2024, a series of attacks in villages across Mecu­ and Macomia, triggered the displacement 2,105 across Mecufi, Metuge, Macomia, and Mueda Districts. Of the total individuals displaced, 132 families with 426 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Mueda (Imbuhu, Mpeme), 16 families with 74 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Macomia (Nanga A and Nanga B), and 17 families with 61 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Metuge (Mieze).
