Suite à la montée des eaux du Lac Tchad  survenue le 16 octobre 2022 et  ayant causé des inondations dans le village de Kinassorom (situé au sein des îles de la sous-préfecture de Bol, département de Mamdi), 220 ménages (1 440 individus) se sont déplacés des quartiers Kotoko, Kanoumbouri et Haoussa vers le quartier Boudoumari (tous ces quartiers étant situés dans le village de Kinassorom). Cette catastrophe a causé des dommages significatifs aux maisons, aux champs des maïs, sorgho ainsi qu’aux cultures maraichères et engendré la perte des articles ménagers essentiels et du bétail. Ces inondations ont aussi accru l’exposition des populations aux maladies zoonotiques.

Due to rising water levels in rivers and lakes, the village of Kinassorom (located within the islands of the Bol sous-préfecture) was flooded on 16 October 2022 in the Lake province. As a result, 220 households (1,440 individuals) were displaced.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors cross-border movements to and from Nigeria's Borno State in north-east Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.

A range of data was collected during the assessments to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 2 to 5 below.

Between 24 February and 30 October 2022, Ukrainian refugees represented 90 per cent (608,734) of all individuals registered at entry from Ukraine (UKR) to the Republic of Moldova (MDA). The remaining ten per cent (67,497) were Third Country Nationals (TCNs). Similarly, Ukrainian refugees represent 89 per cent (305,455) of all individuals registered leaving the Republic of Moldova towards Romania (ROU) during the reporting period and the remaining 11 per cent (35,944) were TCNs. This report focuses on the observable trends in the data on TCNs who entered the Republic of Moldova from Ukraine and analyzes data concerning their stay or their subsequent movement out of the country.

Fear of attacks and confirmed attacks by Non-State Armed Groups in Namuno district (Marrumeia community) triggered 5,213 individual displacement movements from Hucula locality to Namuno sede, (Milipone locality). An estimate of 159 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been identified with vulnerabilities.

All of the recorded movements represent individuals displaced for the first time. IOM teams observed an average of 1,738 individuals arriving at different locations within the reporting period (29 -30 October, please see below for more information). Movements in the region continue to be dynamic among host communities.

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round Four), and activated on a need basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

Fear of attacks and confirmed attacks by Non-State Armed Groups in Namuno district (Marrumeia community) triggered 958 individual displacement movements from Hucula locality to Namuno sede, (Milipone locality). An estimate of 100 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been identified with vulnerabilities. All of the recorded movements represent individuals displaced for the first time.

IOM teams observed an average of 479 individuals arriving at different locations within the reporting period (29 -30 October, please see below for more information). Movements in the region continue to be dynamic among host communities.

This Middle East and North Africa (MENA) report summarizes mobility restrictions at airports, land, and blue border crossing points resulting from the mitigation measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This report highlights key findings from an analysis on the socio-demographic profile, migration journey and intentions, experiences on the workplace and general well-being of labour migrants living and working in three cities of Kazakhstan, namely Almaty, Astana, and Shymkent at the time of the survey. The report also calls attention to their general well-being.

Data on labour migrants in Kazakhstan were collected through the administration of a survey questionnaire in three cities, Almaty, Astana and Shymkent using the tools of the International Organization for Migration (IOM)’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). A stratified sampling strategy by city and gender was adopted. The fieldwork to survey labour migrants was conducted by a survey company from the 6 June to the 6 July 2022. In total, 2,000 labour migrants participated in the study.
