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 6 April 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 947 households (HH) (5,682 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 31 March and 6 April 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 34 households (204 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (32 HHs) – Ma’rib City (17 HHs), Ma’rib (10 HHs), Harib (5 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Ma’rib.
• Al Hodeidah (2 HHs) – Hays (2 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz.

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

• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Bajil (5 HHs), Az Zaydiah (2 HHs), At Tuhayta (2 HHs) districts.
• Ta’iz (5 HHs) – Maqbanah (2 HHs), Jabal Habashi (1 HH), Sharab As Salam (1 HH) districts.
• Ma’rib (5 HHs) – Al Abdiyah (3 HHs), Harib (1 HH), Raghwan (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 9 households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 24 - 30 March 2024, in the governorates of Ma'rib (6 HHs), Al Hodeidah (2 HHs), and Ta’iz (1 HH). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

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 and piloted two internal Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in Gode and Jigjiga, two major urban centres in the Somali region of Ethiopia. The pilot ran from June 2023 through August 2023.

This dashboard focuses on data collected in August 2023 through the FMR tool in Gode and Jigjiga FMPs. In August 2023, 12,619 movements were observed, 7,029 of which were through Gode FMP (55.70%) and 5,590 through Jigjiga FMP (44.30%).

In February 2024, a total of 36,277 movements were observed across the six flow monitoring points (FMPs) in Ethiopia. This represents a 4.2% decrease in daily average movements in comparison with January 2024 when an average of 1,305 movements per day were observed.

The ratio between outgoing movements (63%) during February and incoming movements (37%) remained the same as the previous month. A total of 22,762 outgoing movements were observed, out of which 10,954 (48.1%) were heading to Saudi Arabia, 4,689 (20.6%) were going to Kenya, 2,029 (8.9%) to Djibouti, 1,367 (6%) to Somalia, 1,105 (4.9%) to South Africa, 859 (3.8%) to Yemen, and 668 (2.9%) to Sudan, while remaining movements were heading to other Southern African, Middle Eastern, North American and European countries.

At the same time, 13,515 incoming movements were observed, out of which 8,763 (64.9%) originated from Sudan, while 2,276 (16.8%) came from Kenya, 1,393 (10.3%) from Djibouti, 790 (5.8%) from Somalia and 293 (2.2%) came from other Middle Eastern and African countries. Most incoming movements were by Ethiopians (67.1%), followed by Sudanese nationals (31.4%). Returning Ethiopians departed from Sudan (48%), Kenya (25%), Djibouti (15.1%), Somalia (8.7%), Yemen (2%), Saudi Arabia (1.1%) and Tanzania (0.1%).

To continually inform humanitarian responses in the MAPAP sites, the CCCM cluster and DTM conduct regular data collections in these sites to update information on the displacement situation in the sites.

This report presents the situation as of 04 April 2024. A total of 87 sites are active in the MAPAP hosting 89,007 IDPs, this represents 0,3% more compared to 22 March

En janvier 2024, 26 992 mouvements migratoires ont été observés sur l’ensemble des points de suivi des flux (FMP) à Djibouti soit une baisse de 9 pour cent par rapport à décembre 2023. Cette baisse est liée aux contrôles menés sur certaines routes migratoires par les autorités djiboutiennes. Dans la même période de janvier les individus entrants en provenance d’Ethiopie ont connu une hausse de 14 pour cent par rapport à décembre 2023 principalement dû aux températures considérées par les migrants comme étant favorables pour emprunter la route migratoire à cette période.
Durant janvier, le nombre de migrants de retours spontanés ou forcés enregistrés dans les régions d’Obock et de Tadjourah a quasiment triplé passant de 286 en décembre 2023 à 775 en janvier 2024, principalement en raison des contrôles des autorités au niveau des côtes Yéménites.

In January 2024, 26,992 migratory movements were observed at all Djibouti's Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) with a decrease of 9 per cent compared with December 2023. This drop is linked to the controls carried out on certain migration routes by the Djibouti authorities. During the same period in January, the number of people entering Djibouti from Ethiopia rose by 14 per cent compared with December 2023, mainly due to the temperatures which migrants consider to be favourable for taking the migration route at this time of year. During January, the number of spontaneous or forced returnees recorded in the Obock and Tadjourah regions almost tripled, rising from 286 in December 2023 to 775 in January 2024, mainly due to controls by the authorities on the Yemeni coast.
