In November 2023, 22,968 migratory movements were observed at flow monitoring points (FMPs) in Djibouti, with a daily average of 766 migratory movements. Migration flows observed across all FMPs increased slightly by (1%) compared to October 2023 during which 22,709 movements were recorded. Of these 22,968 movements, 6,400 (28%) were observed in the Obock region where migrants cross the Gulf of Aden towards the Arabian Peninsula. Migration flows at the Obock FMP increased by (31%) compared to October 2023. This increase could be due to a reduction in border controls with Ethiopia combined with rumors of resumption of boat departures from the coasts of Obock where migrants are used to crossing the Gulf of Aden to reach the Arabian Peninsula. Between January and November 2023, arrivals from Ethiopia (110,338) saw a significant increase of 21% compared to the same period of the previous year (91,144). Migration movements in November were mainly: towards the Arabian Peninsula (51%), inbound (39%), transiting towards Ethiopia (5%), transiting within Djibouti (4%), and outgoing (1%). Spontaneous returns from Yemen fell by (14%) due to high tides agitating the sea, going from 588 in October to 505 in November, including 79 women (16%).

Between August and September 2023, IOM’s DTM deployed Site Assessment (SA) Round 34 and Village Assessment Survey (VAS) Round 17, carrying out a multisectoral location assessment. It is to be noted that Amhara region was largely uncovered this round due to increased insecurity, and both the IDP and returning IDP caseloads should likely be higher. The National Displacement Map visualizes locations of displacement, density of displacement caseload, primary reasons for displacement, estimated displacement figures, and access constraints.
