Since 24 February 2022, an increasing number of Ukrainian refugees and third-country nationals (TCNs) entering Slovakia has been registered as a result of the war in Ukraine. As of 14 July 2022, Slovak authorities have reported 603, 957 arrivals from Ukraine out of whom 561, 939 were Ukrainian refugees and 14, 686 third-country nationals (TCNs). This report is based on displacement patterns, needs and intentions survey launched by IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). All surveys were conducted face-to-face by IOM Slovakia trained enumerators with Ukrainian refugees and TCNs fleeing Ukraine. This report presents a short analysis based on 1,027 surveys collected between 9 March and 30 June 2022.

Starting on 24 February 2022, the war in Ukraine triggered an unprecedented humanitarian crisis across the country. Between 27 June and 8 July the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted an area baseline assessment of 879 hromadas hosting IDPs in Kyivska, Dnipropetrovska, Poltavska, Vinnytska, Zakarpatska, Cherkaska, Lvivska, Khmelnytska, Ivano-Frankivska, Ternopilska, Odeska, Kirovohradska, Chernivetska, Zhytomyrska, Zaporizka, Chernihivska, Volynska, Rivnenska and Sumska oblasts in order to gather initial trends on the number and geographic location of officially recorded internally displaced persons.

This routine assessment supports the targeting and provision of humanitarian assistance to the affected population and serves as a preliminary source to identify oblasts and hromadas hosting high numbers of IDPs.

IOM compiled information on more than 2,300,000 IDPs in the 19 oblasts covered by Round 7 of DTM Area Baseline. Kyivska, Dnipropetrovska and Poltavska oblasts have the highest number of displaced, each hosting over 190,000 IDPs.

Починаючи з 24 лютого 2022 року війна в Україні спричинила безпрецедентну гуманітарну кризу в усіх адміністративних підрозділах (областях) країни.

З 27-го червня по 8 липня Міжнародна організація з міграції (МОМ) провела базову оцінку території 879 громад, які приймають зареєстрованих внутрішньо переміщених осіб у Закарпатській, Львівській, Івано―Франківській, Черкаській., Чернівецькій, Чернігівській, Хмельницькій, Волинській, Вінницькій, Сумській, Рівненській, Житомирській, Кіровоградській, Запорізькій, Полтавській, Одеській, Тернопільській, Дніпропетровській та Київській областях, щоб отримати початкове уявлення про внутрішнє переміщення.

Проведення цієї рутинної оцінки підтримує цільове призначення та надання гуманітарної допомоги постраждалим населенням і служить попереднім джерелом для виявлення громад з високим рівнем переміщення.

This yearly summary report, in addition to bi-weekly and quarterly reports, aims to contribute to a better understanding of return movements of undocumented Afghan returnees by conducting more in-depth analysis on the data that was collected in 2021.

The analysis of the data indicates that the number of returnees has increased more than four times as compared to 2020. However, the number of returns in 2021 could have been higher especially if the Chaman border had not been closed due to security reasons in Afghanistan. Numbers of returns were six times higher in months when the border was open (November and December), compared to when the border was closed (October). In general, in 2021, the steep increase in return movements is attributed to the relaxation of border restrictions, even during different COVID-19 waves, which allowed people to more easily cross the border as compared to the previous year.

Fear of attacks and subsequent confirmed attacks in Ancuabe district by Non-State Armed Groups triggered 3,678 individual displacement movements within Ancuabe, Chiure, Quissanga, Balama, Mecufi, Mueda, Macomia, Montepuez, Meluco, Ibo,
Namuno, Muidumbe, Metuge, Memba, Cidade de Nampula, Mecuburi, Nacala, Nacaroa, Ribaue, Erati and Cidade de Pemba. An estimate of 403 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been identified with vulnerabilities. At least 54% of these movements are arrivals in Montepuez, 22% in Metuge, and 7% in Chiure. New arrivals recorded within the reporting period map 2,382 individuals predominantly moving into displacement sites across Chiure, Metuge, and Montepuez. Approximately 74% of recorded movements represent individuals displaced for the first time while 26% represent individuals displaced more than once.

IOM teams observed a daily average of 800 individuals arriving at different locations within the reporting period (11 - 13 July) (please see below charts for further information). Movements in the region remain dynamic. Current report includes movements of individuals displaced multiple times. 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 the humanitarian response partners by disseminating data on IDPs to support effective humanitarian response to the affected population. Information is collected through key informants interviews or direct observation. This dashboard provides basic information on displacements, and additional information can be shared upon request.

Due to the volume and fluidity of population movements in Cabo Delgado. IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) rolled out its Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) methodology in key areas presenting rapid and important movements of populations, in order to ensure the tracking of population on the move and to identify areas of displacement, returns and settlements, and support the identification of critical needs.

From 27 June to 8 of July DTM teams in Quissanga, Palma, Nangade, Mocimboa da Praia, Muidumbe, Meluco and Ibo districts have recorded a significant number of individuals returning to their places of origin. An estimated 12,849 individuals have returned in their localities of origin. Reported returnees are moving spontaneously by bus and small boats. Reports indicate that all assessed individuals were displaced more than once prior to present return movement.

During the reporting period (29 June to 12 July 2022), a total of 297 movements were recorded - 215 arrivals (15,957 individuals), 13 transits (6,874 individuals), 30 returns (3,802 individuals), and 39 departures (2,455 individuals).
