Situation Report

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 19 October 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 2,904 households (HH) (17,424 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 13 and 19 October 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 34 households (204 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma'rib (22 HHs) – Ma'rib City (12 HHs), Ma'rib (8 HHs), Raghwan (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta'iz and Al Hodeidah.
• Al Hodeidah (7 HHs) – Al Khukhah (7 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Taiz (5 HHs) – Al Mudhaffar (3 HHs), Al Qahirah (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.

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

• Al Hodeidah (11 HHs) – At Tuhayta (5 HHs), Al Jarrahi (3 HHs), Ad Durayhimi (2 HHs) districts.

These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

Ovaj izvještaj pruža uvid u profile, iskustva, potrebe, puteve i namjere migranata koji prolaze kroz Bosnu i Hercegovinu (BiH).1 Podaci su prikupljani od 1. do 30. septembra 2024. IOM je pratio rute u Republici Srpskoj, Kantonu Sarajevo, Posavskom kantonu, Tuzlanskom kantonu, Bosansko-podrinjskom kantonu i Unsko-sanskom kantonu, kako bi se utvrdili trendove ulazaka i izlazaka, kao i modaliteta tranzita unutar BiH. IOM je također anketirao 272 migranta na aktivnim tranzitnim lokacijama kao što su autobuske stanice ili na ključnim ulaznim i izlaznim lokacijama širom zemlje, kao i u četiri privremena prihvatna centra (PPC) u BiH (Lipa, Ušivak , Borići i Blažuj).

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 people during the period from September 1 to 30, 2024 in the Lake province.

An estimated 910,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan, of which 222,743 are Chadian returnees as of end of September 2024. IOM 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.

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 25,964 personas ingresaron al país en septiembre de 2024, con un promedio diario de 865 personas. Esto representa un aumento significativo del 57% en comparación con agosto 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 aquellos varados en espacios públicos en comparación con los que se encuentran en albergues. En septiembre de 2024, los migrantes varados en espacios públicos aumentaron un 28% (de 870 en agosto a 1.115 en septiembre), mientras que las personas en albergues experimentaron un aumento del 37% (de 260 en agosto a 357 en septiembre). Aunque los albergues aún tienen capacidad para acoger a más personas, muchos migrantes prefieren continuar su viaje hacia el norte y permanecer en espacios públicos. Este cambio resalta la compleja dinámica de la migración.

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 25,964 people entered the country in September 2024, with an average of 865 people per day. This represents a significant 57% increase compared to August 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 September 2024, migrants stranded in public spaces increased by 28% (from 870 in August to 1,115 in September), while people in shelters experienced a 37% increase (from 260 in August to 357 in September). Shelters still have the capacity to accommodate more people, but many migrants prefer to continue their journey northward and remain in public spaces. This shift highlights the complex dynamics of migration.

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 septiembre del 2024, se registraron 414.123 movimientos regulares de personas de nacionalidad nicaragüense (52 % ingresos, 48 % egresos). En el mismo periodo durante el 2023 se registraron 380.315 movimientos regulares (53 % ingresos y 47 % egresos). Esto representó un aumento del nueve por ciento en el 2024 con respecto al 2023.

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

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 September 2024, there were 414,123 regular movements of people of Nicaraguan nationality (52% entries, 48% exits). In the same period in 2023, 380,315 regular movements were recorded (53% entries and 47% exits), representing a nine percent increase in 2024 compared to 2023. On the other hand, through unofficial border points, 68,320 migration movements were recorded from May 15, 2024, to September 30, with 52% being exits and 48% entries.

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.

• Movements tracked in Obock towards the Arabian Peninsula decreased by 30% between July (7,392) and August (5,192), mainly due to changes in migratory routes as a result of reinforced authority presence.
