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.

Since 20 October 2024, DTM monitored an escalation in clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) across multiple localities in Aj Jazirah state. The Focused Flash Alert provides a numeric breakdown of displacement due to escalations in Aj Jazirah state, from 20 October to 13 November 2024. 

All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification. 

• Reported clashes displaced an estimated 343,473 individuals (68,801 households) between 20 October and 13 November 2024. 
• Individuals were displaced to 38 localities across seven different states. 
• Approximately (44%) of IDPs were displaced to localities in Gedaref state.
• Among the individuals displaced, an estimated 15,129 IDPs were already displaced prior to the escalation, and therefore experienced secondary displacement. 

DTM Sudan releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to provide immediate updates on specific incidents or armed clashes that spurred displacement.  Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list. For more granular information on displacement and mobility, see Sudan Mobility Overview (03). See also Focused Flash Alert: Aj Jazirah (Update 02) and (Update 01). 

This information was collected following the armed violences that have occurred since 11 November 2024 in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Port-au-Prince, particularly in the municipalities of Delmas (Delmas 13 and Delmas 28 neighborhoods), Tabarre (Tabarre 27 neighborhood) and Port-au-Prince (Solino and Fort National neighborhoods). A total of 4,372 people were displaced as a result of these violences, including 3,586 in Port-au-Prince, 488 in Tabarre and 298 in Delmas. The majority of displaced people (76%), or 3,326 individuals, took refuge in 8 sites, including 6 that already existed before these incidents and 2 that were created because of this situation. The rest of the people (24%) found refuge with host families. It should be noted that displacements were continuing at the time of writing this report and updates will be published. Furthermore, in many neighborhoods, key informants indicated that people were unable to flee due to the intensity of violence and barricades.

The Natural Hazard Overview provides a summary of reported incidents of displacement in Sudan due to natural hazards, including fires and floods. DTM Sudan reported on increased displacement due to fires between April and July 2024, and increased displacement due to floods between July and October 2024. 

Between 01 April and 31 October 2024, DTM Sudan reported 140 incidents of sudden displacement due to natural hazard incidents. Information on earlier reported incidents of fire and flood induced displacement is available in the weekly Natural Hazard Displacement Summary reports, available on the DTM Sudan website. 

Highlights   

• DTM reported on 12 incidents of displacement due to fires and 128 incidents of displacement due to heavy rain or floods in 16 different states across Sudan.
• The reported incidents displaced an estimated 192,030 individuals (38,406 households). 

Note:  DTM reports on incidents of sudden displacement due to natural hazards via Early Warning Flash Alerts, published within 24 to 48 hours of reported incidents and distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list. Figures should be understood as preliminary estimates on displacement due to a specific reported event, and therefore may or may not reflect broader displacement dynamics in Sudan.

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.
