Fear of attacks by Non-State Armed Groups in Macomia district (Pangane) triggered the movement of 428 individuals arriving within host community settings in Quirimba and Matemo islands. An estimate of 20 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been identified with vulnerabilities. All the 428 individuals traveled by Boat/Canoes to their current locations of displacement. Within this reporting period, all of the recorded movements represent individuals who have been displaced more than four times.

IOM teams observed an average of 214 individuals arriving at different locations within the reporting period (23 September, please see below Charts for further information). Movements in the region remain dynamic between host communities.

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) - Movement Alert is to collect information on large and sudden population movements, and to provide support to humanitarian response partners by disseminating data on IDPs to support effective humanitarian response to the affected population. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation. The dashboard provides basic information on displacements, and additional information can be shared upon request.

Fear of attacks by Non-State Armed Groups in Macomia district (Pangane) triggered the movement of 460 individuals arriving within host community settings across Quissanga Sede An estimate of 27 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been identified with vulnerabilities.

Within this reporting period, 95 per cent of the recorded movements represent individuals who have been displaced four times while 5 per cent have been displaced more than four times.

IOM Pakistan collects data on the outflows of Afghan migrants at the Torkham and Chaman border crossing points to better understand the migration movements of Afghan migrants returning to Afghanistan from Pakistan.

Between 1 and 15 September 2023, 3,808 Afghan nationals spontaneously returned to Afghanistan, including 730 through the Torkham border point and 3,078 through the Chaman border point. Border authorities facilitated the return of 228 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Information about these individuals is not included in the count. Although IOM identified 63,852 Afghan returnees (between 1 January - 15 September 2023) at two border crossings, this may not reflect the total number of 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 1 and 15 September 2023, IOM interviewed 225 respondents.

Fear of attacks and confirmed attacks in Magaia and Xitaxi villages (Chitunda Posto), between 17 and 19 September by Non-State Armed Groups, triggered the movements of 560 individuals.

HIGHLIGHTS

• An estimated 43,059 individuals have been displaced by the floods in northeastern Libya.
• The lack of water supply is reportedly driving many displaced out of Derna to eastern and western municipalities, which explains a reduction in the overall number of displaced individuals in Derna.
• Displaced individuals continue to move out of Derna to eastern locations including Tobruk (1,320 individuals) and Benghazi (730 individuals). The majority of them are hosted by relatives.
• Field observers report that displaced families from Derna continue to arrive to the western municipalities of Tripoli, Hai Alandalus, Misrata, Ghiryan and Qasr bin Ghasheer (see map 2). Most of them are staying with host families.
• Urgent needs include food, drinking water, and mental health and psychosocial support.

The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 forced millions of Ukrainians and third-country nationals living in Ukraine to flee their homes, many crossing international borders. With the activation of the Temporary Protection Directive (2001/55/EC), the European Union introduced a regime that grants those who fled Ukraine and who fall under the Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/382 a residence permit, as well as access to social welfare, education, employment and health care. By December 2022, there were 87,570 Temporary Protection holders in Austria, where the system of basic care (Grundversorgung) provides immediate support and housing for asylum-seekers and other non-Austrian citizens who are in need of protection and assistance. Unlike asylum-seekers, for whom the system was originally established, the majority of displaced persons from Ukraine (i.e. 72% of all Ukrainians receiving basic care) live in private accommodation instead of organized accommodation provided by the authorities. According to the survey, of those in private accommodation, 66 per cent (+/- 4.9) rent and 27 per cent (+/- 4.6) are hosted by friends, relatives or people not known to them before arrival. The fact that a significant proportion of displaced persons from Ukraine is
living in private accommodation presents particular challenges and potential vulnerabilities. \Seventy-seven (77) per cent of adult Temporary Protection holders residing in Austria are female and 35 per cent of Temporary Protection holders are children, representing a group that is at an increased risk of vulnerability to violence, exploitation and abuse, including human trafficking. Although most offers of private assistance are well intentioned, living outside of the organized housing system poses challenges to monitoring and protection measures. Information about living conditions in private accommodation is limited, including on potential risks of violence, exploitation and abuse encountered by displaced persons from Ukraine.
To fill this data gap, IOM Austria took part in a panel data collection that was jointly implemented by the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Austrian Integration Fund. In the third wave of the survey, which took place from 17 January to 8 February 2023, a set of questions on the topic area was added. The self-administered online survey was sent to 7,274 displaced persons in Austria. Of these surveys, 552 were completed and submitted.
One of the objectives of this non-representative survey was to identify risk factors of experiencing violence, exploitation or abuse when accommodated in private versus organized, public housing. The data collected support the anecdotal evidence that vulnerability to exploitation and housing are linked. This Survey Report summarizes the data collection findings with the objective of making the information collected accessible in order to strengthen existing protection, assistance and awareness-raising interventions and policies.
