The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round Four), and activated on a need basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

Suite aux fortes pluies en Mauritanie, plusieurs Wilayas ont été inondées. A Nouakchott, la Moughataa de Dar Naim a été la plus touchée de la Wilaya. Pour collecter plus d'informations sur les sinistrés qui sont hébergés dans des écoles de la Moughataa, DTM Maurianie a déployé son outil de suivi des urgences pour collecter un ensemble d'informations pour guider l'action humanitaire.

Between June 1 and August 31 2022, IOM’s DTM programme carried out  assessments to ascertain the level of damage sustained in IDP and host community sites due to heavy windstorms, rainfall and flood. Overall, 72 host community locations, 11 camps and nine collective settlements were assessed. The worst-hit of the assessed sites was Banki, a host community location in Buduwa/Bula Chirabe ward of Bama LGA, where heavy rainfall alongside the  opening of the dam gates in Cameroon led to the flooding of the community affecting an estimated 7,389 individuals. 
In total, 4,989 shelters/houses were damaged by the flood, leaving a total of 8,181 households (4,645 in Borno State, 962 in Adamawa State and 2,574 in Yobe State)  in immediate need of shelter. Three hundred and thirty-four casualties were reported as a result of rainstorms and floods during the period.
A total of 37,475 individuals (16,393 in Borno State, 5,979 in Adamawa State and 15,042 in Yobe State) have been affected by heavy rainfalls that have led to flooding since the inception of the rainy season. Of the total individuals, Borno State accounts for 44%, Yobe State 40% and Adamawa State 16%. 

With the onset of the rainy season in Nigeria’s northeastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, varying degrees of damage have been reported in host communities, camps and camp-like settlements. Heavy rainfalls, accompanied by strong winds have caused serious damage to shelters and infrastructures.

Data collection for Round 126 took place between 1 April and 30 June 2022. As of 30 June 2022, DTM identified 4,969,788 returnees (828,298 households), dispersed across 8 governorates, 38 districts, and 2,191 locations in Iraq. A total of 10,074 new returnees were recorded between April and June 2022. This is higher than the number of new returnees recorded in the January-March 2022 period (7,482). This increase is mainly due to DTM data collection teams being able to assess locations in Ninewa governorate that had previously been inaccessible. During this period, the highest number of newly arrived returnees was recorded in Ninewa (4,824), followed by Salah Al-din (2,262), Diyala (1,260), and Anbar (1,188).

Additionally, between 1 April and 30 June 2022, DTM identified a total of 1,177,234 IDPs (202,206 households), dispersed across 18 governorates, 105 districts, and 2,792 locations. This represents an overall net decrease of 7,584 IDP individuals since the January-March 2022 period. This is mainly attributed to the improvements in living conditions in some areas of return, in addition to the lack of jobs in the areas of displacement. Regarding IDPs’ area of origin, consistent with the previous round, 56 per cent of the current caseload of IDPs come from Ninewa governorate (660,914), especially from the districts of Mosul (242,697), Sinjar (183,274), and Al-Ba’aj (183,274). The next highest shares of IDPs come from the governorates of Salah al-Din (135,151;11% of the total caseload), Anbar (131,677; 11%), Kirkuk (75,892,6%), and Diyala (73,161; 6%).

Data collection for Round 125 took place between 1 January and 31 March 2022. As of 31 March 2022, DTM identified 4,959,714 returnees (826,619 households), dispersed across 8 governorates, 38 districts, and 2,179 locations in Iraq. A total of 7,482 new returnees were recorded between January and March 2022. This is significantly lower than the number of returns recorded in the previous period between October and December 2021 (13,158). Notably, this is the lowest number of returns recorded since they commenced in April 2015. During this period, the highest number of newly arrived returnees was recorded in Salah al-Din (3,174), followed by Ninewa (2,064), Anbar (660), and Baghdad (612).

Additionally, between January and March 2022, DTM identified a total of 1,184,818 IDPs (203,447 households), dispersed across 18 governorates, 105 districts, and 2,803 locations. This represents an overall net decrease of 1,738 IDP individuals since the October-December 2021 period, and is a smaller decrease than what was recorded between then and August-September 2021 (3,025). Regarding IDPs’ area of origin, consistent with the previous round, 56 per cent of the current caseload of IDPs come from Ninewa governorate (663,138), especially from the districts of Mosul (246,229), Sinjar (193,354), and Al-Ba’aj (93,751). The next highest shares of IDPs come from the governorates of Salah al-Din (137,726; 12% of the total caseload), Anbar (133,321; 11%), Kirkuk (75,873; 6%), and Diyala (73,946; 6%).

The DTM Global Mobility Restrictions Overview provides updates on international air travel restrictions and conditions for authorized entry. This overview aims to understand how COVID-19 has impacted human mobility, detailing how global and regional trends in air travel measures have evolved since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. The data presented focuses on the changes in public health-related immigration and border management measures. It provides information intended to support IOM missions and partners in targeted response planning and advocacy for vulnerable populations who may be affected by changes in global mobility.
