Yemen — Rapid Displacement Tracking - Quarterly Report (July - September 2024)

During the reporting period, between 1 July and 30 September 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,149 households (HHs) (6,894 individuals)1 who experienced displacement at least once. This compares to 1,089 households (6,534 individuals) in the third quarter of 2023 representing a five per cent increase. Continued new instances of displacement occur due the ongoing impacts of the conflict between the warring parties, the economic repercussions such as salary cuts, currency depreciation, and the decline in individual income. Additionally, climate induced movements, such as related to floods and heavy rainfall, have significantly affected governorates like Ma’rib, Ta’iz, and Al Hodeidah.
The governorates with the highest number of new displacements in the third quarter of 2024 are Ma’rib (406 HHs), Lahj (271 HHs), Ta’iz (232 HHs), and Al Hodeidah (223 HHs). These governorates are all located in areas that have been heavily affected by armed conflict, insecurity, and the resulting humanitarian crisis.
Safety and security concerns as a result of the conflict were the main reason for displacement, accounting for 64 per cent (739 HHs) of the total, followed by economic reasons related to conflict, accounting for 28 per cent (322 HHs), and natural hazards accounting for eight per cent (88 HH).
