Crisis Responses
The Central African Republic (CAR), which has experienced continuous volatility for the past two decades, has been riddled by a crisis which ignited in 2012 with a violent takeover of power and has developed into a complex protracted state of permanent insecurity and fragility which has spilled over into neighbouring countries. The crisis is characterized by power struggles amongst elites, the absence of state institutions and public investment, religious and ethnic tensions and disputes for the control of key resources. More recently, the crisis in Sudan, which started in April 2023, is affecting the eastern part of the CAR witnessing arrivals of displaced populations. As of July 2023, 3,831,877 individuals were affected, including 485,825 internally displaced persons (13% of the displaced population), 2,063,885 returnees former IDPs (54%), 503,019 returnees from abroad (13%) and 779,148 refugees (20%). In the CAR, the largest displaced population consists of former IDP returnees. Refugees from the CAR are primarily hosted by Cameroon (350,428 individuals, or 45% of the refugees), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (210,552 individuals, or 27% of the refugees) and Chad (127,934 individuals, or 16% of the refugees). Nonetheless, 24,370 refugees from the Central African Republic are still living in Sudan (3% of the refugees). Since the beginning of the Sudan crisis, a total of 4,071 Central Africans have returned to their country of origin through the border in Am-Dafock, representing 4 per cent of returns from abroad. In addition, the CAR is also home for refugees from neighbouring countries, hosting a total of 33,209 refugees coming from Sudan (22,768 individuals), the DRC (6,384 individuals), South Soudan (2,726 individuals) and Chad (1,331 individuals).
The Central Sahel area, and in particular the Liptako Gourma region, which borders Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, is affected by a complex crisis involving growing competition over dwindling resources; climatic variability; demographic pressure; high levels of poverty; disaffection and a lack of livelihood opportunities; communal tensions; the absence of state institutions and basic services; and violence related to organized crime and non-state armed groups. The crisis has triggered significant displacement of populations in the concerned countries and is affecting neighbouring countries such as Mauritania and the coastal countries.
As of July 2023, 2,911,228 individuals have been displaced, including 2,614,709 internally displaced persons (90% of the displaced population) and 296,519 refugees (10% of the displaced population). Seventy-two per cent of the displaced populations (2,098,917 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 15 per cent resided in Mali (437,842 individuals), 8 per cent in Niger (233,041 individuals) and 3 per cent in Mauritania (101,844 individuals). The crisis’ recent spill over to coastal countries, namely Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin, shows growing number of refugees coming from the Central Sahel and populations internally displaced. As of July, 39,584 individuals were affected by displacement within the four countries (2,293 in Benin, 6,316 in Côte d’Ivoire, 6,598 in Ghana and 24,377 in Togo) of which 10,397 were internally displaced. Other estimations account for 63,831 refugees currently living in the four countries (10,000 in Benin, 25,719 in Côte d’Ivoire, 8,112 in Ghana and 20,000 in Togo).
The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with non-state armed groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations. As of July 2023, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 6,065,751 affected individuals made up of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees (former IDPs and returnees from abroad) and refugees (both in- and out-of-camp).

IOM Yemen DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) monitors migrant arrivals on the southern coastal border and Yemeni return locations on Yemen's northern border with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Enumerators placed at Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) record migrant arrivals and returning Yemeni nationals to identify different patterns of migration, and to provide quantitative estimates to help define the population of irregular migrants entering the country. FMR is not representative of all flows in Yemen and should be understood as only indicative of migration trends of the unknown total number of migrants arriving in Yemen at FMPs during the time frame indicated. Access constraints limit the ability to collect data at some migrant arrival points.
In July 2023, IOM Yemen DTM recorded 9,500 migrants entering Yemen, a decrease of 12 per cent since last month (10,800 migrants in June 2023). The number of migrants entering Yemen via the Lahj coast has decreased 11 per cent since last month (from 8,789 in June to 7,835 in July). Similarily, the number of migrants entering Shabwah through the shore decreased by 17 per cent (from 2,008 in June to 1,665 in July) due to changes in the weather conditions, namely high tides and windy weather. DTM recorded conflict induced movements as the reason for 17 per cent of all incoming movements in July 2023. All conflict induced travel was recorded in Shabwah coming from Bari, Somalia (31% children, 10% women, and 59% men).
Due to the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the challenges in moving towards KSA, many migrants opted to return to the Horn of Africa. DTM teams in Djibouti recorded that during July 2023, a total of 805 migrants (752 male and 53 female) took the risky return by boat from Yemen to travel home. Meanwhile, DTM observed a significant increase in Yemeni returnees (85%) compared to last month (2,322 in June to 4,286 in July). Between 1 January and 31 July 2023, DTM recorded 86,630 migrants and 31,364 Yemeni migrant returnees to Yemen. IOM DTM received further information from border officials during July 2023 regarding the deportation of 89 Ethiopian migrants from Oman into Hawf district of Al Maharah governorate. These migrants had travelled through Yemen to Oman but were deported back into Yemen by Omani authorities.

تعمل مصفوفة تتبُع النزوح الخاصة بالمنظمة الدولية للهجرة في اليمن عبر سجل مراقبة التدفق في المواقع الرئيسية التي يصل عبرها المهاجرون على الحدود الساحلية الجنوبية، و المواقع التي يعبر من خلالها اليمنيون العائدون والموجودة على الحدود الشمالية لليمن مع المملكة العربية السعودية. يُراقب الباحثون المتمركزون في نقاط رصد تدفق وصول المهاجرين والمواطنين اليمنيين العائدين من أجل التعرف على الأنماط المختلفة للهجرة وتقديم تقديرات كمية للمساهمة في تحديد عدد المهاجرين الوافدين الى البلد.
لا يشمل سجل مراقبة التدفق جميع نقاط التدفق في اليمن، ولكنه يمثل مؤشراً حول اتجاهات الهجرة بالنسبة لإجمالي العدد غير المعروف للمهاجرين الوافدين إلى اليمن عبر نقاط التدفق خلال الإطار الزمني المحدد. والجدير بالذكر أن القيود المفروضة على الوصول تَحُد من القدرة على جمع البيانات في بعض نقاط وصول المهاجرين.
لاحظت مصفوفة تتبع النزوح التابعة للمنظمة الدولية للهجرة في اليمن دخول 9,500 مهاجر إلى اليمن في يوليو 2023 ، بانخفاض قدره 12٪ عن الشهر السابق (10,800 مهاجرًا في يونيو 2023). سجلت مصفوفة تتبع النزوح انخفاضاً بنسبة 11٪ في عدد الوافدين إلى لحج (7,835 مهاجرًا) مقارنة بالشهر السابق (8,789). وبالمثل ، انخفض عدد المهاجرين الوافدين عبر ساحل شبوة (- 17٪) (من 2،008 في يونيو إلى 1،665 في يوليو) بسبب التغيرات في الأحوال الجوية مما أدى إلى صعوبة التنقل في المد والجزر والرياح القوية. في يوليو 2023 ، وثقت مصفوفة تتبع النزوح الحركات الناجمة عن الصراع باعتبارها سبب 17٪ من جميع الحركات القادمة. تم تسجيل جميع الرحلات المتعلقة بالنزاع والقادمة من باري، الصومال في محافظة شبوة (31٪ أطفال ، 10٪ نساء، و 59٪ رجال).
بسبب الوضع الإنساني المتنامي في اليمن وصعوبة الوصول إلى المملكة العربية السعودية ، يختار العديد من المهاجرين العودة إلى القرن الأفريقي. لاحظ موظفو مصفوفة تتبع النزوح في جيبوتي أن 547 مهاجرًا (532 ذكرًا و 15 أنثى) أخذوا رحلة العودة المحفوفة بالمخاطر بالقارب من اليمن للعودة إلى الوطن خلال يوليو 2023. وفي الوقت نفسه ، لاحظت مصفوفة تتبع النزوح ارتفاعاً كبيرًا في عدد اليمنيين العائدين 85٪) مقارنة بالشهر الماضي (من 2,322 في يونيو إلى 4,286 في يوليو). مابين الفترة من 1 يناير إلى 31 يوليو 2023 ، وثقت مصفوفة تتبع النزوح عدد 86,630 مهاجراً و 31,364 عائداً يمني. كما تلقت مصفوفة تتبع النزوح خلال شهر يوليو 2023، مزيدًا من المعلومات من مسؤولي الحدود اليمنية العمانية حول ترحيل 89 مهاجراً اثيوبياً من عمان إلى منطقة حوف بمحافظة المهرة. كان هؤلاء المهاجرون قد شقوا طريقهم من اليمن إلى عمان.

Según el Centro de Operaciones de Emergencia Nacional (COEN) del Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil (INDECI, 2023), a mayo de 2023, el gobierno peruano reportó más de 586.000 personas afectadas3, 96.322 personas damnificadas y 36.298 viviendas destruidas o inhabilitadas. A junio de 2023, estas cifras continuaron al alza, registrándose más de 656.000 personas afectadas, 109.027 personas damnificadas y más de 41.000 viviendas destruidas o inhabilitadas.
A ello se sumó la ampliación de la emergencia sanitaria por 120 días, en mayo de 2023, por el récord de casos reportados por dengue. Según el Centro Nacional de Epidemiología, Prevención y Control de Enfermedades (DGE Perú, 2023)8, a junio de 2023, se registraban 98.760 casos de dengue en el Perú, siendo Lambayeque una de las regiones con más casos y mayor probabilidad de albergar enfermedades respiratorias y diarreicas agudas, infecciones de piel, trastornos psicológicos, afecciones crónicas, dengue y leptospirosis.
En respuesta a este contexto, la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) presenta la segunda ronda de la Matriz de Seguimiento de Desplazamiento (DTM por sus siglas en inglés) bajo su componente Evaluación de sitio en albergues temporales en la región de Lambayeque, a fin de recopilar información sobre el estado y necesidades de los albergues en esta segunda visita a los albergues, considerando que, entre la primera y segunda visita a los albergues, hubo un periodo de tiempo de 15 días.

Desde el 5 de marzo de 2023, se registraron fuertes lluvias en diversas ciudades costeras del norte y centro del Perú, así como tormentas eléctricas, que conllevaron a deslizamientos de tierra y desbordamientos de varios ríos que inundaron ciudades y carreteras, así como a daños y destrucciones de viviendas por completo; denominando a este fenómeno climatológico (Ciclón Yaku).
Según la Oficina de Naciones Unidas para la Coordinación de Asuntos Humanitarios en Perú (OCHA Perú, 2023), a marzo de 2023, se estimaron más de 112.800 personas afectadas y más 18 mil personas damnificadas, además de 53.900 viviendas destruidas y el deceso de 71 personas. En este contexto, el 27 de marzo, el gobierno peruano declaró Estado de Emergencia de nivel 5 por 60 días en las regiones de Tumbes, Piura y Lambayeque. Al 24 de abril, estas cifras se alcanzaban las 377.190 personas afectadas3, más de 65 mil personas damnificadas4, más de 146.500 viviendas dañadas y 99 fallecidos (OCHA Perú, 2023).
En respuesta a este contexto, la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM), empleó la Matriz de Seguimiento de Desplazamiento (DTM por sus siglas en inglés) bajo su componente Evaluación de sitio a fin de recopilar información detallada sobre las condiciones de vida y las necesidades de las personas ubicadas en los albergues temporales previamente identificados en la región de Lambayeque. Así, en mayo de 2023, se inició la realización de encuestas a gestores de los diversos albergues ubicados en Lambayeque, afectados por las intensas lluvias.

This Multi-Sectorial Location Assessment (MSLA) report, which presents findings from the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Round 11 assessments, aims to enhance understanding of the extent of internal displacements and the needs of affected populations in conflict-affected districts of Northern Mozambique. Data was collected between 16 February and 16 March 2023 in close coordination with provincial government and Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres (INGD) partners, and presents trends from 92 assessed sites hosting internally displaced persons across Cabo Delgado, 4 sites in Niassa, and 2 sites in Nampula.
In total, 290,401 internally displaced persons (IDPs) (an increase of 5% since the previous round) or 80,295 households were mapped living in sites assessed during this MSLA. Reported figures, however, exclude displaced individuals living in host community settings. According to DTM Round 18 Mobility Tracking Report, as of April, an estimated 834,304 IDPs were identified living in both host communities and sites (781,679 IDPs in Cabo Delgado, 48,635 IDPs in Nampula, and 3,990 IDPs in Niassa).
