Event Tracking

Between 4 and 8 September 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Plateau State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), identified 8 locations in Plateau State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding. 
In the two local government areas (LGAs) of Plateau State that were assessed, DTM identified 5,717 individuals in 1,129 households affected by the floods. These individuals included IDPs displaced by the floods and residents impacted by the floods but remained in their communities. Twenty-nine per cent (29%) of the affected houses are habitable but need repairs, 18 per cent were partially damaged but need repairs, and 6 per cent were completely destroyed. In 88 per cent of the locations assessed, crop farming was among the primary sources of income.

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.

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.

South Sudan is currently facing a complex humanitarian crisis characterized by extensive internal displacement. This situation is driven by a variety of factors, including communal conflicts, land disputes, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and cross-border movements. Each of these elements contributes to ongoing instability and increased vulnerabilities experienced by the population. Between 16 and 31 August 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) recorded significant displacement events affecting a total of 76,233 individuals. The majority of these displacements occurred in Upper Nile state, where 39,736 individuals were affected in Renk County. Additionally, Jonglei state experienced the displacement of 10,816 individuals in Fangak and Pochalla counties, while Northern Bahr el Ghazal recorded 8,160 displaced persons in Aweil West and Aweil North counties. Information from key informants revealed that these displacements were primarily due to disasters associated with flooding. The consequences of these displacements have led to an urgent need for humanitarian assistance among the affected populations. Those who have been displaced have identified their most pressing requirements as food, non-food items, and shelter. These priorities underscore the critical need for immediate humanitarian intervention to address the basic survival needs of those impacted by this crisis.
