Integrated Location Assessments (ILA) are utilized to enhance and provide accurate and up-to-date information on access to services at major sites of displacement, alongside profiles of displaced and returnee populations. The purpose of these exercises is to determine a severity level of living conditions of returnees and IDPs to allow partners to better strategize for resources and operations in vulnerable areas or to mitigate risks of push/pull factors for a more specific set of coherent interventions that bridge humanitarian, recovery, and stabilisation needs.

A total of 15,347 individuals (2,600 households) were reported to be residing at the site, at the time the exercise was conducted, of whom 56 per cent were women and girls. Around 38 per cent of households were composed of more than seven individuals.
