The Registered IDP Area Baseline Assessment provides granular data on the number and geographic location of officially registered internally displaced people (IDPs). This report assesses registered IDP presence at the hromada level, also mapping the recorded change since the previous round. Round 26 presents the data of the registered IDP population disaggregated by sex, age and state-recognized disability status.

The data collected for the Area Baseline Assessment Round 26 reflects the up-to-date local administrative register of the IDP population as of 31 July 2023, equivalent to a total of 3,677,601 registered IDPs. Registered IDP figures were collected for 1,039 hromadas (78% of all hromadas covered in the Ukrainian government-controlled areas). Data disaggregated by age, sex and disability status were provided for around 76 per cent of the administrative units covered. For this assessment, IOM define IDPs as persons who officially registered as fleeing their habitual place of residence due to the current war in Ukraine

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 12 August 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 4,050 households (HH) (24,300 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.
