Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) estimates 565,000 people to be affected by the second landfall of Tropical Storm Freddy - directly impacting communities of Zambezia, Sofala and Tete. As of 10 March, INGD have identified at approximately 240,000 people already affected by the first landfall of Tropical Storm Freddy (24 February) as well as recent floods recorded in central and southern Mozambique. As of 20 March 2023, available reports indicate 87,951 individuals (19,365 families) in 120 ACs across Zambezia, 32,221 individuals (7,115 families) have taken shelter in 44 accommodation centres (ACs) across Sofala, 12,344 individuals (2,607 families) in 28 ACs across Tete, 3,634 individuals (792 families) in 15 ACs across Inhambane, 318 individuals (77 families) in 5 ACs across Manica, and 4,132 individuals (825 families) in 13 AC in Niassa. The majority of these centres are schools and churches. Reported priority needs include WASH, protection, health, food and emergency shelters. As rain and flood events develop, ongoing joint assessments with INGD and humanitarian partners monitor the needs and conditions of affected populations in the region. While movements remain dynamic in Zambezia impacted districts, accomadation Centres out of the reported 120 Accomadation Centres require further validation.

Entre le 12 et le 18 mars 2023, le DTM a identifié 15 personnes affectées, dont 15 personnes déplacées par les vents violents dans les province de Rutana.

As a subcomponent of the Mobility Tracking methodology (Round Five), the Emergency Event Tracking (EET) tool is deployed to track sudden displacement, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed.

Dear Yemen Humanitarian Data Partners,          

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 18 March 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,743 households (HH) (10,458 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 12 and 18 March 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 28 households (168 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (20 HHs) – Ma’rib City (17 HHs), Ma’rib (3 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Sanaa City and Al Hodeidah.
• Ta’iz  (5 HHs) – Al Makha (4 HHs), Salah (1 HH) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Al Hodeidah  (3 HHs) – Al Khukhah (2 HHs), Hays (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Ta’iz.

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

• Ta’iz (7 HHs) – Maqbanah (5 HHs), Al Misrakh (1 HH), Al Qahirah (1 HH) districts.
• Sanaa City (5 HHs) –   As Safiyah (2 HHs), Shuub (1 HH), Bani Al Harith (1 HH) districts.

As of 17 March 2023, available reports indicate 37,302 individuals (7,460 families) in 94 ACs across Zambezia, 40,475 individuals (8,811 families) have taken shelter in 61 accommodation centres (ACs) across Sofala, 12,344 individuals (2,607 families) in 28 ACs across Tete, 3,634 individuals (792 families) in 15 ACs across Inhambane, 64 individuals (13 families) in 1 AC in Gaza, 318 individuals (77 families) in 5 ACs across Manica, and 2,361 individuals (494 families) in 6 AC in Niassa. The majority of these centres are schools and churches. Reported priority needs include WASH, protection, health, food and emergency shelters.

The DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is deployed to track and to collect information on large and sudden population movements, provide frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a sub-component of the Mobility Tracking methodology in Nigeria, ETT utilises direct observations and a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population per location, enabling targeted humanitarian response planning.

Between 06 and 12 March 2023, a total of 2,643 new arrivals were recorded in locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Dikwa, Damboa, Gwoza, Monguno, Ngala, and Kala Balge Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected state of Borno and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Michika, Maiha, Mubi South, Mubi North, Numan, Song, Yola South and Yola North LGAs of Adamawa state.

Between 26 February and 11 March 2023, 6,264 undocumented Afghan nationals spontaneously returned to Afghanistan, including 3,132 through the Torkham border point and 3,132 through the Chaman border point. Border authorities facilitated the return of 422 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Therefore, information about these individuals are not included in the count. Although IOM identified 13,745 undocumented Afghan returnees at two border crossings, this may not reflect the total number of undocumented Afghan returnees. Moreover, for this study, only the head of household or representative of the family were interviewed. This means that the number of interviews conducted by the enumerators is lower than the number of returnees recorded by IOM. Between 26 February and 11 March 2023, IOM interviewed 243 respondents.
