The IOM Afghanistan’s DTM Flow Monitoring activity is designed to provide insights into the mobility patterns at Afghanistan’s border points with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. The activity involves two interlinked exercises: the Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), a headcount of individuals crossing the border, and the Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS), which collect data on the profiles and intentions of randomly selected Afghan nationals. DTM FM is operational at four main crossing points (connected to Afghanistan’s National Highway) as well as seven other crossing points with Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. This weekly snapshot combines information from the FM activity and various IOM sources related to cross-border movement. For a detailed explanation of the methodology used in gathering this data, the report directs readers to the section titled “IOM INFLOW DATA” on the last page.
 

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. Districts covered in this round include Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Belet Xaawo, Dayniile, Doolow, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, Luuq. ETT is a crisis-based tool that tracks sudden displacement triggered by specific events or emerging crises.

The objective of ETT is to help prioritize humanitarian response and to enable partners to deliver rapid assistance. Based on previous shock induced displacement patterns, the humanitarian community expects that people will continue to move toward urban areas in search of humanitarian services. Consequently, the ETT coverage focuses on the main urban centers and surrounding villages for each assessed district. The data is collected through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) at the location level, from Sunday to Wednesday every week. It includes information on new arrivals, numbers and demographic of IDPs, reasons for displacement, intentions, humanitarian assistance and priority needs among others.

The ETT tool also adapts to regional contexts: because of the very high number of IDP sites in Khada and Daynile districts in Banadir region and in Baidoa district in Bay region, a zonal approach has been adopted for these areas. Each week, KIIs are first conducted at the zone level to indicate to the field teams which locations have received the most new arrivals and which need to be assessed.

To facilitate the joint analysis of the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Cluster’s New Arrivals Tracker (NAT) and ETT data, the assistance and needs indicators are identical in both tools.

A total of 24,430 movements were observed in May 2024, representing 8% increase compared to April 2024 when 22,611 movements were observed during this period. Comparing May 2024 with April 2024, Doolow (13%), Buuhoodle (11%), Bossaso (6%), Dhobley (6%) and Lowyacado (5%) FMPs recorded an increase in movements while Cabudwaaq (-22%) and Harirad (-5%) FMPs recorded a decrease in movements.

Doolow (57%), Bossaso (28%), and Dhobley (7%) FMPs recorded the highest numbers of incoming movements, while Doolow (40%), Dhobley (25%) and Cabudwaaq (13%) recorded the highest numbers of outgoing movements for May 2024.

This information was collected following attacks in the municipality of Ganthier since 21 July 2024, in the 5th communal section of Pays Pourri. A total of 3,830 people (985 households) were displaced following these attacks. All of them took refuge with relatives, in host families, particularly in the 3rd communal section of Fonds Parisien located in the same municipality. At the time of writing this report, these attacks were still ongoing. Updates will be published by DTM according to observations of new displacement. It should be noted that the municipality of Ganthier has suffered several attacks since the end of 2023, whereas in the past it had almost never suffered any (see ETT 32.1 and ETT 40 for more details on recent attacks that caused significant population displacement).

Between 08 and 14 July 2024, a total of 1,754 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Dikwa, Gubio, Gwoza, Kaga, Kala Balge, Mobbar and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, and in Demsa, Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.
ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: improved security (512 individuals or 29%), poor living conditions (422 individuals or 24%), military operation (294 individuals or 17%), seasonal farming (252 individuals or 14%), attack (116 individuals or 7%), family re-unification (102 individuals or 6%) and fear of attack (56 individuals or 3%).

The Conditions of Return Assessment (CoRA) provides granular and actionable data on the conditions of returns in Ukraine, using a multisectoral location-level assessment (MSLA) methodology conducted with local authority key informants in areas of return across Ukraine. CoRA presents an analysis of the situation and needs of returnees in Ukraine, exploring the circumstances under which returns are taking place, and settlement-level conditions for all population groups, aiming to support evidence-based interventions that address the specific needs of returnees. Data collection for Round 8 took place between 15 April and 31 May 2024 across 858 locations in 284 hromadas in 23 oblasts in Ukraine.  

In South Sudan, a complex humanitarian crisis is unfolding due to various factors such as communal conflicts, land disputes, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and displacement across borders. Between 1st and 15th July 2024, 8,834 returnees arrived in different counties within the country.

Half of the returns (51%) were forced to return from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to violence against civilians, 38 per cent displaced from Sudan because of the ongoing Sudan crisis, and 7 per cent due to improved security conditions in their destination areas in South Sudan. The influx of returnees has led to urgent humanitarian needs among the affected population. The top three immediate requirements identified by the returnees are access to shelter, food, and health in their respective locations of return

Between 08 and 14 July 2024, a total of 99 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Benue state. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Guma and Gwer-west Local government areas (LGAs) of the conflict-affected Benue State.

ETT assessments identified conflict/attack as the trigger for these movements in the state.

Most of the arrivals were from Gwer-west LGA, with 45 individuals, accounting for 45 per cent of the arrivals for the week. This was followed by arrivals from Keana LGA with 31 individuals, which accounted for 31 per cent of the arrivals for the week. A total of 23 individuals arrived from Guma LGA. These arrivals account for 23 per cent of the arrivals for the week.

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on estimated 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 estimated numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 1 January to 20 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,821 households (HH) (10,926 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 14 and 20 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 57 households (342 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Taiz (22 HHs) – Mawza (11 HHs), Al Misrakh (6 HHs), Al Makha (3 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ma’rib (21 HHs) – Marib City (11 HHs), Marib (8 HHs), Harib (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Taiz and Marib.
• Al Hodeidah (10 HHs) – Al Khukhah (8 HHs), Hays (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Taiz.

The majority of people moved from the following governorates and districts:

• Taiz (27 HHs) – Mawza (11 HHs), Al Misrakh (7 HHs), Hayfan (3 HHs) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – At Tuhayta (7 HHs), As Salif (1 HHs), Ad Durayhimi (1 HHs) districts.
• Ad Dali (5 HH) – Qatabah (4 HHs), Juban (1 HHs) districts.

IOM identified 19 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 07 - 13 July 2024, in the governorates of Taiz (10 HHs), and Marib (9 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.
