IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme identified a total of 761,322 migrants from 44 nationalities in the 100 Libyan municipalities during round 53 of data collection (June - July 2024).

The number of migrants in Libya has continued to increase slightly (+5%) compared to the previous round of data collection in line with a trend that started in December 2023. The rise in the number of migrants in Libya can be at least partially linked to the continuous arrival of Sudanese migrants, particularly in Alkufra, because of the ongoing conflict in their country of origin. While the number of migrants identified by DTM Libya in July 2024 is the highest since DTM started collecting data in 2016 it remains lower than prior to the onset of conflict in 2011 when it was estimated to be around 2.5 million.
