Event Tracking

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.

On 01, 03 and 04 July 2024, communal clashes occured in the community of Aila in Egba ward of Agatu local government area (LGA), armed bandits attacked the community of Samco Community in Borikyo ward of Ukum LGA and heavy rainfall occurred in the community of Achusa Market in Bar ward of Makurdi LGA all in Benue State. There were reports of 78 injuries and 28 fatalities. The attacks displaced 618 individuals in 135 households from Aila community to Obagaji host community in Obagaji ward. The affected individuals included 851 children, 387 women and 297 men. 

On 04 and 06 July 2024, armed bandits attacked Model Primary School Camp in Gwadabawa ward of Gwadabawa LGA in Sokoto State and a communal clash occurred in the community of Sabuwar Unguwa in Wakili Kudu 3 ward of Katisna LGA in Katsina State. There were reports of 39 injuries and six fatalities. The affected individuals included 1,069 children, 549 women, and 304 men.

Of all the needs identified, food, non-food items (NFI), WASH, and transport were the most prevalent. Other needs included shelter, psychosocial support, and health.

Following these events, DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff conducted rapid assessments to inform the humanitarian community and Government/partners, and to enable a targeted response. 

Nigeria’s north-central and north-west zones are afflicted with a multi-dimensional crisis. Long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups often result in attacks and banditry or hirabah. These attacks involve kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways by criminal groups. During the past years, the crisis accelerated and has resulted in widespread displacement across the north-central and north-west regions.

In January 2024, the Iraqi Council of Ministers announced the closure of the remaining 23 IDPs camps in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq by the end of July 2024. The International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Iraq launched a tracking tool in April 2024 to track the number of families leaving the camps and their main characteristics. 

Between 24 and 30 June 2024, a total of 1,594 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Dikwa, Gwoza, Kaga, Kala Balge, Mafa, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: military operations (548 individuals or 34%), poor living conditions (377 individuals or 24%), improved security (315 individuals or 20%), seasonal farming (175 individuals or 11%), family re-unification (90 individuals or 6%), fear of attack (42 individuals or 2%), camp closure (31 individuals or 2%) and access to humanitarian support (16 individuals or 1%).

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 6 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,688 households (HH) (10,128 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 30 June and 6 July 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 44 households (264 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (31 HHs) – Al Abdiyah (15 HHs), Ma’rib City (8 HHs), Ma’rib (8 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ma’rib and Al Jawf.
• Ta’iz (7 HHs) – Jabal Habashi (5 HHs), Al Maafer (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Al Hodeidah.
• Al Hodeidah (4 HHs) – Hays (4 HHs) district. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Ta’iz.

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

• Ma’rib (17 HHs) – Al Abdiyah (15 HHs), Bidbadah (1 HH), Harib (1 HH) districts.
• Ta’iz (8 HHs) – Maqbanah (5 HHs), Al Mudhaffar (1 HH), Jabal Habashi (1 HH) district.
• Al Hodeidah (7 HH) – Al Jarrahi (4 HHs), Al Qanawis (1 HH), Al Hawak (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 22 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 23 - 29 June 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (12 HHs), and Ma’rib (10 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

Rainfall in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has impacted 8 districts, resulting in widespread damage and disruption. The highest volume of rainfall was recorded in Lakki Marwat district, leading to damages to houses, landslides, flash flooding, lightning strikes, and road closures. Reports indicate that approximately 163 infrastructure units have sustained damage in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 1 human casualty has been reported in different districts, along with the loss of about 40 cattle.

During this reporting period, DTM teams recorded 6,070 new arrivals across 511 settlements in the 15 districts DTM is operating in. Floods induced the majority of new displacements (75%), with the other main causes being conflict (15%), drought (7%), other causes (2%), and eviction (1%).

La crise ADF dans la province du Nord-Kivu, principalement dans le territoire de Beni, s’élargit sur le territoire de Lubero, dans la zone de santé de Biena, dans le groupement Bapakombe depuis le 18 juin 2024. Cette incursion est accompagnée par plusieurs pertes en vies humaines, vols et incendies. Cela a forcé plusieurs villages (Kambau, Liboyo, Mbunia, Akwele et Manguredjipa) à se déplacer vers les villages de Njiapanda et Kaheku (Chefferie de Baswagha, zone de santé de Biena).

Ces ménages déplacés ont été reçus en majorité dans les familles d’accueil. Les besoins humanitaires sont considérables dans l'ensemble des zones touchées et risquent de s'aggraver encore sans une action urgente. En même temps, la situation sécuritaire et humanitaires se détériore d’avantage dans l’ensemble du territoire de Lubero dû à la crise M23 dans la zone de santé de Kayna. Cette situation nécessite une intervention urgente et multisectorielle.

Le territoire de Beni, dans la partie grand-nord de la province du Nord-Kivu, est confronté à une crise humanitaire aggravée par des conflits armés divers. Du 15 mai au 12 juin 2024, la crise ADF en territoire de Beni, notamment dans le village Mantumbi en zone de santé de Oicha et les villages Kabweke et Masau en zone de santé de Mabalako et Mandima, a accrue les tensions suite aux attaques récurrentes.

Également, les avances des hostilités liés à la crise M23 (à Kanyabayonga, territoire de Lubero) ont contraint la population à se déplacer vers les lieux considérés plus en sécurité, principalement dans la ville de Beni, dans les 4 communes de Bungulu, Mulekera, Ruwenzori et Beu. La situation à Beni se caractérise par une détérioration de l'accès aux moyens de subsistance, tant pour les populations déplacées que pour la communauté hôte et une aggravation des conditions de vie et des préoccupations croissantes en matière de protection. Les personnes déplacées se sont installées dans la communauté d’accueil qui a déjà reçu plusieurs vagues successives de personnes déplacées au cours des derniers mois.
