Dashboard/Fact Sheet

Between 01 and 07 July 2024, a total of 1,893 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Damboa, Dikwa, Gubio, Gwoza, Hawul, Kaga, Kala Balge, Konduga, Mafa, Mobbar, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: poor living conditions (634 individuals or 33%), military operations (407 individuals or 22%), fear of attack (250 individuals or 13%), seasonal farming (240 individuals or 13%), improved security (208 individuals or 11%), attacks (85 individuals or 4%), family re-unification (48 individuals or 3%) and access to humanitarian support (21 individuals or 1%).

South Sudan is grappling with a multifaceted humanitarian crisis marked by significant internal displacements. The factors fueling these displacement dynamics are diverse, encompassing communal clashes, land disputes, insecurity, violence, disasters, and cross-border movements.

During the period from the 1st to the 30th of June 2024, a sequence of events unfolded, resulting in the displacement of 7,381 individuals in Panyijar (4,476 individuals) and Tonj North counties (2,905 individuals). Insights gathered from key informants suggest that these displacements were primarily triggered by disasters, specifically floods. Consequently, these occurrences have given rise to pressing humanitarian needs, with affected populations highlighting shelter, food, and non-food items (NFIs) as their top three urgent requirements demanding immediate humanitarian intervention.

Six LGAs have been mapped as locations with IDPs in Benue State based on DTM Round 11 (March 2023). So far, the biometrically registered IDPs have covered the location of Makurdi LGA (16 camps and three host community sites), Guma LGA (eight camps and four host community sites), Logo LGA (two camps and host community sites), Kwande (one camp and host community site) Agatu LGA (three host community sites) and in Gwer West (four camps ).

The registration has shown that Guma LGA has the highest number of IDPs, with 60,445 individuals (17,636 households), followed by Makurdi with 36,062 individuals (9,415 households), then Agatu with 21,861 individuals (5,641 households). Kwande had 15,909 individuals (3,225 households), while Logo had 13,633 individuals (3,311 households). Gwer West which had the least registered IDPs had 12,721 individuals registered from 3,435 households.

During the registration, 20,044 individuals were identified with vulnerabilities and specific needs (including but not limited to serious medical illness) and were referred to UNHCR/FJDP for further support. All registered IDPs have received a biometric card with a unique number for easy identification. The registration is an ongoing process as this report is the fourth in this series.

Between 01 and 07 July 2024, a total of 2,607 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Benue state. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Agatu, Guma, Gwer-west, Logo, Nasarawa, and Ukum Local government areas (LGAs) of the conflict-affected Benue State.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: conflict/attack (1,651 individuals or 63%), armed banditry/kidnapping (539 individuals or 21%), communal clash(225 individuals or 9%), and farmers-herders clash (191 individuals or 7%).

The majority of the arrivals were from Agatu LGA, with 1,575 individuals, which accounted for 60 per cent of the arrivals for the week. This was followed by arrivals from Ukum LGA with 646 individuals, which accounted for 25 per cent of the arrivals for the week. A total of 191 individuals arrived from Loko LGA. These arrivals account for seven per cent of the arrivals for the week.

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, Dayniile, 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.

Over 780,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan. As of end June 2024, IOM estimates that 201,379 among them are Chadian returnees and expects this number to rise to 240,000 through to December 2024. This is due to ongoing conflict and food insecurity in Darfur, owing to the current suspension of the humanitarian corridor between Chad and Darfur.

Returnees are Chadian nationals who were living in Sudan and have been displaced back to their home country where they lack the resources to rebuild their lives. Returnees are living either in displacement sites or within host communities. They are in urgent need of food, water, sanitation and hygiene shelter, household items, health, and protection. IOM is the lead agency for the returnee response, in close coordination with the Government of Chad, local authorities, UN agencies, and local and international NGOs.

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 six 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.
 

The Central Sahel area, and in particular the Liptako Gourma region, which borders Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, is affected by a complex crisis involving growing competition over dwindling resources; climatic variability; demographic pressure; high levels of poverty; disaffection and a lack of livelihood opportunities; communal tensions; the absence of state institutions and basic services; and violence related to organized crime and non-state armed groups. The crisis has triggered significant displacement of populations in the concerned countries and is affecting neighbouring countries such as Mauritania and the coastal countries.

As of June 2024, 3,125,192 individuals have been displaced, including 2,616,570 internally displaced persons (84% of the displaced population) and 508,622 refugees (16% of the displaced population). Sixty-seven per cent of the displaced populations (2,101,107 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 14 per cent resided in Mali (422,862 individuals), 11 per cent in Niger (353,145 individuals) and 4 per cent in Mauritania (119,354 individuals). The crisis’ recent spill over to coastal countries, namely Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin, shows growing number of refugees coming from the Central Sahel and populations internally displaced. As of June, 128,724 individuals were affected by displacement within the four countries (22,613 in Benin, 52,365 in Côte d’Ivoire, 7,230 in Ghana and 46,525 in Togo) of which 34,088 were internally displaced.
