IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme identified a total of 697,532 migrants from over 45 nationalities in the 100 Libyan municipalities during round 49 of data collection (July - September 2023). The number of migrants in Libya has continued to decrease slightly compared to the previous round of data collection (from 704,369 migrants, round 48 to 697,532 migrants, round 49) in line with a trend that started at the beginning of 2023 when there were 706,472 migrants (round 46, January - February 2023).

Data collection for IDPs took place between July and September 2023 in 2,068 localities in the six states of north-east Nigeria (Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Gombe, Taraba and Bauchi). Data collection for returnees took place during the same assessment period in the BAY states of north-east Nigeria (Borno, Adamawa and Yobe). 

The DTM identified a total of 2,305,335 IDPs in 472,239 households and 2,083,835 returnees in 343,653 households. The IDP population included IDPs in camps and camp-like settings (929,453 individuals or 40%) and IDPs residing in host communities (1,375,882 individuals or 60%). The returnee population included IDP returnees (1,874,283 individuals or 90%) and returnees from abroad (209,552 individuals or 10%).

On 2 January 2024, an armed attack took place in the municipalty of Croix-Des-Bouquets, affecting several neighborhoods such as Guedon and Turbe, located in the 4th communal section of Petit Bois, as well as the neighborhoods of Galette – Roche Blanche and Denis – Campeche Livia in the 3rd communal section of Petit Bois.

As a result of these events, approximately 67 households, comprising 268 individuals, were forced to flee their homes towards areas within the same municipality, as well as in Tabarre and Delmas. All these displaced individuals have found refuge with host families.

Between 26 December 2023 and 8 January 2024, a series of attacks in villages across Macomia, and Muidumbe triggered 1,811 individual displacements. Of the total 304 individuals displaced, 89 families with 293 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Mueda (Lyanda, Mpeme and Eduardo Mondlane), 113 families with 397 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Macomia (Nanga A and Nanga B) and 6 families with 31 individuals have taken refuge in displacement centers of Muidumbe (Matambalale and Lutete).

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 2023 to 6 January 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 9,977 households (HH) (59,862 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.                                             

Between 31 December 2023 and 6 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:                                                    

• Ma’rib (11 HHs) – Marib (5 HHs), Marib City (4 HHs), Harib (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Marib and Al Hodeidah.
• Ta’iz (8 HHs) – Al Makha (7 HHs) district, Al Misrakh (1 HH). Most displacements in the governorate originated from Taiz and Al Hodeidah.
• Al Hodeidah (2 HHs) – Hays (2 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.                      

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

• Al Hodeidah (8 HHs) – Hays (4 HHs), Al Jarrahi (2 HHs), Al Marawiah (1 HHs) districts.
