Djibouti — Flow Monitoring Dashboard (June 2024)

In June 2024, 39,336 migratory movements were observed at Djibouti's flow monitoring points (FMPs), including 17,938 arrivals from Ethiopia, representing a 17 per cent increase in migratory movements compared with May, mainly due to the conflicts in the Amhara and Tigray regions, which prompted many Ethiopians to take the migratory routes to Djibouti. On 26 June, 831 migrants were stranded in Djibouti, an increase of 6 per cent compared to May.

During June, 8,899 migrants observed in Obock were heading for boats bound for the Arabian Peninsula. A total of 642 migrants returning from Yemen were recorded in Obock, a 48 per cent drop compared with May 2024 due to the arrival of the heat and the khamsin, which reduced the activity of boats at sea. In the month of June, at least 8 migrants died in Djibouti due to dehydration and harsh environmental conditions, which led to illness and death.
