Situation Report

Between 17 and 18 November 2024, recent attacks and the pervasive fear of further violence by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) in Ancuabe district have triggered the displacement of approximately 1,854 individuals, representing 393 families. This sudden movement underscores the volatile security situation in Cabo Delgado, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of ongoing instability. According to the Key Informants’ responses, 50% of the individuals displaced mentioned food as the immediate humanitarian need followed by shelter (31%), and essential Non-Food Items (19%), as families struggle to cope with the trauma and disruption caused by these events.

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the country has confronted profound economic disruptions alongside widespread displacement. To date, 3.7 million people remain internally displaced (IDPs), while 4.4 million people who had been displaced have since returned to their primary places of residence. According to the World Bank, more than 9 million people in Ukraine are estimated to be living in poverty, an increase of 1.8 million people since February 2022. The pace of recovery in Ukraine is also projected to slow to 3.2 per cent in 2024 from 4.8 per cent in 2023, due to a smaller harvest and a persistent labour shortage. With millions seeking safety and stability, often while remaining in displacement, the challenges of maintaining livelihoods and accessing social protection are paramount, necessitating focused interventions to mitigate economic hardships.

This report provides a snapshot of livelihoods in Ukraine, focusing on income, social assistance and coping strategies, as well as exploring the relationship between income levels and displacement. Additionally, to better support evidence-based programming, the brief analyses the relationship between income and estimated eligibility for Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA). The analysis foregrounds the age and gender dimensions, highlighting that priorities, capacities and needs are unique to different individuals and notably vary based on the intersection of vulnerabilities, exclusion and discrimination.

The purpose of the emergency tracking tool is to collect information on sudden and significant displacements mainly triggered by security and climatic emergencies. The information is collected through key informant interviews and direct observations.

This dashboard presents a summary of information on confirmed movements of persons which occured from October 1st to 31st, 2024 in the Lake province.

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 16 November 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 3,177 households (HH) (19,062 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 10 and 16 November 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 35 households (210 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma'rib (27 HH) – Ma'rib (15 HHs), Ma'rib City (12 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Hajjah.
• Al Hodeidah (7 HHs) – Hays (6 HHs), Al Khukhah (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Taiz (1 HH) – Al Maafer (1 HH) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.

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

• Al Hodeidah (12 HHs) – Al Jarrahi (11 HHs), Az Zuhrah (1 HH) districts.
• Hajjah (5 HHs) – Harad (4 HHs), Ash shaghadirah (1 HH) districts.
• Ta'iz (4 HHs) – Al Mudhaffar (2 HHs), Sharab Ar Rawnah (1 HH), Maqbanah (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 30 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 03 - 09 November 2024, in the governorates of Ma'rib (17 HHs), Al Hodeidah (9 HHs), and Ta'iz (4 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

Costa Rica, al igual que otros países de Centroamérica, sigue siendo un corredor migratorio clave para el flujo de personas en movilidad a través de las Américas. Este flujo está compuesto principalmente por personas de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, así como de otros países de Sudamérica, África y Asia. Según estimaciones de la OIM Costa Rica, aproximadamente 26.247 personas ingresaron al país en octubre de 2024, con un promedio diario de 847 personas. Esto representa un aumento del 1% en comparación con setiembre de 2024. Aunque el número total de personas en tránsito por Costa Rica ha aumentado, los datos reflejan una diferencia notable en las condiciones de aquellas varadas en espacios públicos en comparación con las que se encuentran en albergues. En octubre de 2024, las personas migrantes varadas en espacios públicos disminuyeron en un 26% (de 1.115 en septiembre a 886 en octubre), mientras que las personas en albergues monitoreados experimentaron un aumento del 83% (de 357 en septiembre a 654 en octubre). Aunque los albergues aún tienen capacidad para acoger a más personas, muchas personas migrantes prefieren continuar su viaje hacia el norte y permanecer en espacios públicos.

Costa Rica, like other Central American countries, continues to be a key migratory corridor for the flow of people on the move across the Americas. This flow mainly consists of individuals from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, as well as other countries in South America, Africa, and Asia. According to estimates by IOM Costa Rica, approximately 26,247 people entered the country in October 2024, with an average of 847 people per day. This represents a 1% increase compared to September 2024. Although the total number of people transiting through Costa Rica has increased, the data reflect a notable difference in the conditions of those stranded in public sites versus those in shelters. In October 2024, migrants stranded in public spaces decreased by 26% (from 1,115 in September to 886 in October), while people in monitored shelters experienced a 83% increase (from 357 in September to 654 in October). Shelters still have the capacity to accommodate more people, but many migrants prefer to continue their journey northward and remain in public spaces.

Los movimientos migratorios de personas nicaragüenses hacia Costa Rica son una tendencia constante en América Central, intensificándose por factores políticos, económicos y sociales.

Entre enero y octubre del 2024, se registraron 455.554 movimientos regulares de personas de nacionalidad nicaragüense (52% ingresos, 48% egresos). En el mismo periodo durante el 2023 se registraron 419.925 movimientos regulares (52 % ingresos y 48 % egresos). Esto representó un aumento del 8% en el 2024 con respecto al 2023. Por otro lado, por puntos fronterizos no oficiales, se han registrado 77.110 movimientos migratorios desde el 15 de mayo del 2024 hasta el 30 de septiembre, siendo el 51% egresos y el 49% ingresos.

Además, se encuestaron a 306 personas nicaragüenses (169 en puestos fronterizos oficiales y 137 en cruces fronterizos no oficiales) y 238 acompañantes (53 por puestos fronterizos oficiales y 185 por cruces fronterizos no oficiales).

Entender la dinámica fronteriza de quienes la transitan es fundamental en la comprensión de las necesidades de población migrante y la formulación de propuestas para su atención. Ante estos desafíos, es esencial disponer de información actualizada sobre el perfil sociodemográfico, motivos de migración, necesidades y la dinámica de los movimientos migratorios de persona nicaragüenses en la frontera norte de Costa Rica.

The migratory movements of Nicaraguan people to Costa Rica are a constant trend in Central America, intensified by political, economic, and social factors.

Between January and October 2024, there were 455,554 regular movements of people of Nicaraguan nationality (52% entries, 48% exits). In the same period in 2023, 419,925 regular movements were recorded (52% entries and 48% exits), representing a 8% increase in 2024 compared to 2023. On the other hand, through unofficial border points, 77,110 migration movements were recorded from May 15, 2024, to September 30, with 51% being exits and 49% entries.

Additionally, during October, 306 Nicaraguan individuals were surveyed (169 at official border points and 137 at unofficial border crossings), along with 238 companions (53 at official border points and 185 at unofficial border crossings).

Understanding the border dynamics of those who transit it is essential in comprehending the needs of the migrant population and formulating proposals for their assistance. In the face of these challenges, it is essential to have updated information on the sociodemographic profile, reasons for migration, needs, and the dynamics of the migratory movements of Nicaraguan people on the northern border of Costa Rica.

As of 15 October 2024, 3.7 million people remain internally displaced (IDPs), while 4.4 million people who had been displaced have since returned to their primary places of residence. According to the World Bank, more than 9 million people in Ukraine are estimated to be living in poverty, an increase of 1.8 million people since February 2022. The pace of recovery in Ukraine is also projected to slow to 3.2 per cent in 2024 from 4.8 per cent in 2023, due to a smaller harvest and persistent labour shortages. With millions seeking safety and stability, often while remaining in displacement, the challenges of maintaining livelihoods and accessing social protection are paramount, necessitating focused interventions to mitigate economic hardships.

This thematic brief provides an overview of livelihoods in Ukraine, focusing on access to employment and exploring its relationship with displacement, returns, and mobility intentions. It aims to shed light on how access to sustainable economic opportunities for displaced and conflict-affected populations may correlate with enhanced resilience, self-sufficiency, and autonomy.
