En el mes de julio de 2023, el gobierno peruano prorrogó la declaratoria de emergencia en las zonas fronterizas del Perú, dicha medida incluye nuevamente a la región Tacna, la cual tendrá una vigente por 60 días calendario, que va hasta el 26 de agosto; esto con el fin de continuar desarrollando acciones que permitan restablecer el orden interno en conjunto con la Policía Nacional del Perú y las Fuerzas Armadas. Por otro lado, el 19 de julio, se declaró otro Estado de Emergencia por 60 días, debido al escenario de riesgo muy alto ante bajas temperaturas en la región de Tacna, a fin de ejecutar medidas de reducción de riesgos y proponer planes de respuesta, dado que miles de personas se encuentran expuestas a estas bajas temperaturas, especialmente las personas refugiadas y migrantes que se encuentran de tránsito por la frontera del país

En el mes de julio de 2023, hubo un promedio de 418 entradas y 372 salidas cuyo flujo fue compuesto mayormente por migrantes y refugiados de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela (en adelante Venezuela), de Colombia y también de Ecuador. En julio continúan las medidas tomadas por el gobierno central al declarar las fronteras en estado de emergencia, a ello se suma a la también declaratoria de emergencia en frontera del lado ecuatoriano, ambos factores han causado variaciones en los flujos de las personas refugiadas y migrantes que transitan ambas fronteras. Por otro lado, los servicios de asistencia humanitaria de OIM han registrado un ligero incremento en la cantidad de personas que tienen intención de salida del país hacia Colombia o países fuera de Sudamérica.

The Registered IDP Area Baseline Assessment provides granular data on the number and geographic location of officially registered internally displaced people (IDPs). This report assesses registered IDP presence at the raion level, also mapping the recorded change since the previous round. Round 27 presents the data of the registered IDP population disaggregated by sex, age and state-recognized disability status.

The data collected for the Area Baseline Assessment Round 27 reflects the up-to-date local administrative register of the IDP population as of 31 August 2023, equivalent to a total of 3,516,765 registered IDPs. Registered IDP figures were collected for 1,039 hromadas (78% of all hromadas covered in the Ukrainian government-controlled areas). Data disaggregated by age, sex and disability status were provided for around 76 per cent of the administrative units covered. 

Over 5,000 are presumed dead, with a total of 3,922 deaths having been registered in hospitals, according to WHO sources. Rescue teams continue their search for survivors. • The restoration of some roads, which had previously been blocked, is now allowing some individuals affected by the floods to leave the areas hit by Storm Daniel in search of safety, shelter and basic necessities.

After the Burmese military’s violent assault on Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine Province began in August 2017, when thousands of Rohingya people fled their homes with severe persecution resulting in the creation of the world’s largest refugee camps in Bangladesh. More than five years have passed yet; due to political complications, the repatriation process is still in a despair situation. A few of them (29,458) have been relocated to Bhasan Char, a small silt island in the Bay of Bengal; however, a high majority of the Rohingya refugee population is concentrated in overcrowded camps in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar district’s Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazilas, where they endure dire conditions due to living in crammed shelters, poor quality sanitation, inadequate health assistance with other issues. Every year when the monsoon season approaches, living in the camps becomes more difficult. Currently, fires have become commonplace in the camps. To support the population, several humanitarian agencies are providing them with various services. Moreover, to effectively provide assistance, it is crucial to identify their met and unmet needs as well as the major service gaps. Hence, several MSNAs have previously been implemented to support the response.

Most recently, in 2021, the MSNA was conducted to inform the 2022 Joint Response Plan (JRP). But, in 2022 there was no MSNA has been conducted, which indicates key information gaps and a lack of in-depth sector needs assessment. A multisectoral needs assessment was required as each sector has its own needs assessments, which may not always be possible to analyse the data in a way that allows identifying priority needs and areas for development from a broad perspective, whereas a multi-sectoral assessment that is matched with the humanitarian program cycle and offers a strategic planning tool for evidence-based prioritizing.

In addition, the design and implementation of efficient inter-sectoral programming became more important as the crisis is gradually transitioning from the initial emergency phase to a more protracted response. Detailed information on the access difficulties, needs and priorities of all affected populations is required. However, currently, the funding for the Rohingya people has become more challenging since the focus has now shifted to the crisis in Ukraine, and Afghanistan. Hence, with limited resources, it is really difficult to understand what support is needed most, and how to prioritize the requirement. Therefore, the camp-based needs assessment (CBNA) has been planned and implemented throughout the camps under IOM’s area of responsibilities to provide an overview of the multi-sectoral needs and priorities of the refugees to support detailed humanitarian planning of IOM’s internal programs in meeting the strategic objectives of the donors.

Rohingya refugees live in the world’s largest refugee settlement in Bangladesh’s south-eastern district of Cox’s Bazar. The Myanmar military attack on Rakhine state in August 2017 forced thousands of Rohingya Muslims to escape to Bangladesh. Previous influxes were recorded in October 2016, when approximately 87,000 people crossed into Bangladesh, and other waves were registered during the previous decades. The total number of Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, including those residing in the district prior to August 2017 is estimated to be 960,5391 individuals. They live in difficult conditions, entirely depending on humanitarian aid. In the cramped conditions of camps besetting with other issues regarding accessing different services refugees’ torments rise during the cyclone and monsoon seasons every year because the population is concentrated in extremely congested sites within Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar district which is well-known to be vulnerable due to annual monsoon and cyclone seasons. Most of the shelters where the refugees live are made of tarpaulin sheets and bamboo in areas that are either hilly or low-lying.

The combination of densely populated sites and unsustainable shelter material exposes the refugee population to serious risks associated with heavy rains and high winds, such as flooding and landslides. To support the Rohingya refugee response during the cyclone and monsoon seasons the Site Management Site Development Sector (SMSD) Daily Incident Report (formerly known as the SM Category 1 Daily Incident Report) was established in May 2018. This system was developed by the SMSD Sector in coordination with the Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG), IOM, and UNHCR. Through this assessment, Site Management Support (SMS) Agencies systematically collect information across all camps in Cox’s Bazar affected by small and large-scale weather-related and man-made incidents. The incidents captured through this mechanism refer to small or large-scale localized events (such as landslides, floods, windstorms, heavy rain and fire) that cause minor to severe, even complete damage and have little to no impact outside of the locally affected area. In case of Level 2 or 3 events2 , of larger scope, the ISCG would trigger a JNA. The purpose of the system is to track any daily incidents across all camps, and their impact on the affected population.

Overall, the SMSD Incident Reporting is aimed at:

• Collect the initial information on the damages and displacement caused by small and large-scale weather-related and man-made incidents across all the camps on a daily basis. • Report the initial information for immediate action.

• Provide a comprehensive overview by producing reports and datasets on a Daily & Weekly basis to convey key information on the impact and damages caused by weather-related and man-made incidents across the camps.

• Support a timely and adequate Rohingya refugee response throughout the year, particularly during the cyclone and monsoon seasons.

The massive fire that swept through Camp 11 on March 5, 2023, affecting over 16,000 Rohingya refugees, severely damaged certain areas of the world’s largest refugee camps. Of these, 5,000 Rohingya refugees were temporarily displaced and moved to nearby camps. The fire destroyed 2,165 shelters and affected many refugees who were left with nothing. Three blocks (A, B, D) were affected with Block D having the most affected households (1,278).

IOM redirected efforts to assist those affected by the fire through rapid deployment of staff, resources, and uninterrupted presence in the camps. Moreover, IOM’s Needs and Population Monitoring team conducted Initial Rapid Needs Assessment within 24 hours to provide immediate response and In-depth Rapid Needs Assessments within 48 hours to support effective decision-making processes in meeting the needs of the affected population. In addition, in order to assess and to provide an overview of the current situation and humanitarian services and gaps, as well as to understand the driver and severity of needs of the affected population from each sector’s perspectives and to know the sufficiency and effectiveness of the assistance provided to the affected households, this household level situational assessment was conducted in June 2023 with the households affected by fire incident on March 5th. This report presents the overall findings of the assessment.

La DTM a identifié 594 personnes affectées dont 144 personnes déplacées par les vents violents dans les provinces de Bubanza et Muyinga.

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 9 September 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 4,231 households (HH) (25,386 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 3 and 9 September 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 26 households (156 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (11 HHs) – Harib (7 HHs), Ma’rib City (3 HHs), Ma’rib (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Abyan and Al Hodeidah.
• Shabwah (7 HHs) – Bayhan (7 HHs) district. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Bayda and Dhamar.
• Ta’iz (6 HHs) – Al Qahirah (3 HHs), Al Mudhaffar (1 HH), Al Maafer (1 HH) districts.All displacements in the governorate were internal.

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

• Ta’iz (7 HHs) – At Ta’iziyah (2 HHs), Al Makha (1 HH), Salah (1 HH) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (5 HHs) – Al Qanawis (2 HHs), Zabid (1 HH), Al Marawiah (1 HH) districts.
• Al Bayda (5 HHs) – Maswarah (3 HHs), Nati (2 HHs) districts.
