Somalia — Displacement Report 3 (October 2016)

Patterns of internal displacement in Somalia are diverse: short and long-term, single or multiple events, protracted or newly emerging, in both rural and urban areas. This diversity needs to be reflected for appropriate solutions to be developed and pursued. Among the 202 settlements in the study, the overwhelming majority are rural with 60% of the displaced population living in Urban areas (estimated 213,050 Urban vs. 140,770 Rural displaced).
