Yemen — Rapid Displacement Tracking Update (12 - 18 December 2021)

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis from their locations of origin or displacement, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks Returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 01 January 2021 to 18 December 2021, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 24,335 households (HH) (146,010 Individuals) have experienced displacement at least once.                                                                                           

Since the beginning of 2021, DTM also identified 4,433 displaced households who left their locations of displacement and either moved back to their place of origin or another location.                                                                                           

Between 12 and 18 December 2021, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 514 households (3,084 individuals) displaced at least once. The top three governorates and districts where people moved into/within are:                                                                                              

·        Al Hodeidah (146 HH) – Hays (88 HH), Al Khukhah (58 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Taiz.

·        Marib (143 HH) – Marib (85 HH), Marib City (58 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.

·        Ad Dali (65 HH) – Qatabah (34 HH), Ad Dali (23 HH), Al Hasayn (8 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Ad Dali.                                                                                         

Most displacements resulted from the increased conflict in the following governorates and districts.

·        Al Hodeidah (165 HH) – Hays (78 HH), Jabal Ras (33 HH), Al Jarrahi (12 HH) districts.

·        Marib (138 HH) – Marib (92 HH), Al Jubah (32 HH), Jabal Murad (7 HH) districts.

·        Taiz (129 HH) – Maqbanah (93 HH), Ash Shamayatayn (11 HH), At Taiziyah (5 HH) districts.                                                                                             

Some 896 HH displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 05 December - 11 December 2021, in the governorates of Marib (858 HH), Ad Dali (16 HH), Al Hodeidah (12 HH), Taiz (8 HH), and Aden (2 HH), were only identified in the current period and so, this figure has been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded from the beginning of the year.
