Since 01 April 2024, DTM monitored numerous clashes across Al Fasher and other localities in North Darfur state that triggered widespread displacement. 

Reported clashes displaced an estimated 328,981 individuals (65,933 households) between 01 April 2024 and 30 June 2024. 

The Focused Flash Alert provides a numeric breakdown of displacement due the recent escalations from 01 April -30 June 2024. All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification. For more information, see Focused Flash Alert North Darfur (Update 002) and (Update 001).  

DTM Sudan releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to provide immediate updates on specific incidents or armed clashes that spurred displacement.  Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list. For more granular information on displacement and mobility, see Sudan Mobility Update (03). 

• For the first time since January 2024 (210), almost 200 migrants arrived in Yemen from Djibouti, a point of departure that has seen greatly reduced flows since the start of the the joint military campaign targeting the coastline of Lahj aimed at impeding migrants arrivals.

• Although economic reasons remain the main migration driver along the Eastern Corridor, the number of movements tracked in Obock travelling towards the Arabian Peninsula due to conflict, violence or persecution almost tripled between April (456) and May (1,266).

• Return movements to Obock and Tadjourah from Yemen almost doubled (+97%, 1,240) in May, which underscores the significant challenges that migrants face in Yemen and the desperate circumstances that lead them to take the risky journey back to the Horn of Africa.

• In May, the highest number of people were forcibly returned from Saudi Arabia to Ethiopia in a single month (21,293) since July 2021 (31,911), and the second highest when records began in 2017.

During this reporting period, DTM teams recorded 6,070 new arrivals across 511 settlements in the 15 districts DTM is operating in. Floods induced the majority of new displacements (75%), with the other main causes being conflict (15%), drought (7%), other causes (2%), and eviction (1%).

La crise ADF dans la province du Nord-Kivu, principalement dans le territoire de Beni, s’élargit sur le territoire de Lubero, dans la zone de santé de Biena, dans le groupement Bapakombe depuis le 18 juin 2024. Cette incursion est accompagnée par plusieurs pertes en vies humaines, vols et incendies. Cela a forcé plusieurs villages (Kambau, Liboyo, Mbunia, Akwele et Manguredjipa) à se déplacer vers les villages de Njiapanda et Kaheku (Chefferie de Baswagha, zone de santé de Biena).

Ces ménages déplacés ont été reçus en majorité dans les familles d’accueil. Les besoins humanitaires sont considérables dans l'ensemble des zones touchées et risquent de s'aggraver encore sans une action urgente. En même temps, la situation sécuritaire et humanitaires se détériore d’avantage dans l’ensemble du territoire de Lubero dû à la crise M23 dans la zone de santé de Kayna. Cette situation nécessite une intervention urgente et multisectorielle.

Le territoire de Beni, dans la partie grand-nord de la province du Nord-Kivu, est confronté à une crise humanitaire aggravée par des conflits armés divers. Du 15 mai au 12 juin 2024, la crise ADF en territoire de Beni, notamment dans le village Mantumbi en zone de santé de Oicha et les villages Kabweke et Masau en zone de santé de Mabalako et Mandima, a accrue les tensions suite aux attaques récurrentes.

Également, les avances des hostilités liés à la crise M23 (à Kanyabayonga, territoire de Lubero) ont contraint la population à se déplacer vers les lieux considérés plus en sécurité, principalement dans la ville de Beni, dans les 4 communes de Bungulu, Mulekera, Ruwenzori et Beu. La situation à Beni se caractérise par une détérioration de l'accès aux moyens de subsistance, tant pour les populations déplacées que pour la communauté hôte et une aggravation des conditions de vie et des préoccupations croissantes en matière de protection. Les personnes déplacées se sont installées dans la communauté d’accueil qui a déjà reçu plusieurs vagues successives de personnes déplacées au cours des derniers mois.

The IOM Afghanistan’s DTM Flow Monitoring activity is designed to provide insights into the mobility patterns at Afghanistan’s border points with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. The activity involves two interlinked exercises: the Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), a headcount of individuals crossing the border, and the Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS), which collect data on the profiles and intentions of randomly selected Afghan nationals. DTM FM is operational at four main crossing points (connected to Afghanistan’s National Highway) as well as six other crossing points with Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. This weekly snapshot combines information from the FM activity and various IOM sources related to cross-border movement. For a detailed explanation of the methodology used in gathering this data, the report directs readers to the section titled “IOM INFLOW DATA” on the last page.

Somalia has experienced numerous conflicts, inter-communal violence, and natural disasters since the collapse of the Somali State in 1991. This has led to large recurring waves of forced displacement both within Somalia and into neighbouring countries and beyond.

In 2024, Somalia is still recovering from the impact of the 2021-2022 drought, which affected the vast majority of the
country, estimated to be the worst drought in Somalia in over four decades. This historic drought was followed by a heavy
deyr rainy season in October-December 2023. During this period rainfall surpassed average levels in most areas of the
country, resulting in significant riverine flooding and flash flooding. Food insecurity remains high with four million people
(22% of the total population) estimated to be in IPC Crisis or Emergency phases.1 This series of natural disasters have led
to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of IDPs, causing the loss and devastation of livelihoods, further increasing
families’ vulnerabilities.

In this context, IOM Somalia’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) implemented its third round of the Baseline 2 exercise
in Somalia in the three states of Hirshabelle, Jubaland, and South-West State. Data collection for the remaining regions of
assessment is currently ongoing, and will be completed in September 2024.

Baseline 2, an area-based assessment, is the second step of Mobility Tracking implemented at settlement level and aims to quantify presence of population categories. For round 3, DTM Somalia is administered across 7 regions and 29 districts in three states namely Hirshabelle, Jubaland, South-West State from February to March 2024.

Following the release of the first edition of PROGRESS 2023 report, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has compiled a series of National Displacement Profiles based on end of year 2023 figures. These profiles offer insights into the latest end-of-year 2023 figures, aligning with the objectives outlined by the Data for Solutions to Internal Displacement Taskforce (DSID).

The profile provides a comprehensive overview of the demographic breakdowns and geographical distribution of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Libya in 2023. It delves into the primary areas of origin and displacement for IDPs, shedding light on the factors influencing their decision-making processes regarding the selection of solutions locations. Additionally, the report discusses the obstacles encountered by IDPs in their pursuit of durable solutions.

This compilation underscores the critical role of data in addressing internal displacement challenges and highlights the ongoing efforts to leverage data-driven solutions through collaborative initiatives like DSID.
