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 22 June 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,564 households (HH) (9,384 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 16 and 22 June 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 7 households (42 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (7 HHs) – Marib City (4 HHs), Marib (3 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Dhamar.

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

• Al Hodeidah (2 HHs) – At Tuhayta (1 HHs), Ad Durayhimi (1 HHs) districts.
• Dhamar (2 HHs) – Otmah (2 HHs) district.
• Ta’iz (1 HH) – Al Qahirah (1 HHs) district.

Conflicts between farmers and herders in North-East Nigeria and other Sahel regions are driven by a combination of environmental and demographic factors, including desertification, climate change impacts, and low rainfall which reduces the availability of suitable land for farming and transhumance activities. Rapid population growth further exacerbates these issues by increasing the demand for food, shelter, and security for both humans and livestock. This heightened competition for scarce natural resources often leads to incidents like farming on cattle routes, crop destruction, farm damage, and water pollution, which often escalate into violent confrontations between farming and herding communities.
The Transhumance Tracking Tool (TTT), a component of IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM with the support of community key informants) operationalized the Early Warning System in nine selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Adamawa and Taraba states. This system collects alerts related to farmer-herder conflicts.Of the 212 alerts recorded in May, 180 alerts (85%) were event-related, while 32 (15%) were related to movements. In Demsa, Lamurde, Girei, Shelleng, and Numan LGAs in Adamawa state, all instances of alerts were event-related. In Mayo-Belwa LGA, 92 per cent were event-related and 8 per cent were movement-related. Also, Guyuk LGA reported 17 per cent event-related alerts and 83 per cent movement-related. In Taraba state, Zing and Lau LGAs reported 83 per cent and 55 per cent event-related alerts, and 17 per cent and 45 per cent movement-related alerts, respectively. Disaggregated ward-level data indicates that Zing ward in Zing LGA in Taraba state and Kodompti ward in Numan LGA of Adamawa state reported the highest percentage of events, 8 and 7 per cent of the total alerts respectively.

From 1 January to 15 June 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,557 households (HH) (9,342 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 9 and 15 June 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 15 households (90 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (15 HHs) – Ma’rib (10 HHs), Ma’rib City (4 HHs), Harib (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Hajjah.

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

• Al Hodeidah (10 HHs) – Hays (3 HHs), Az Zaydiah (2 HHs), Al Mansuriyah (1 HH) districts.

IOM identified 12 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 02 - 08 June 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (6 HHs), Ma’rib (4 HHs), Ta’iz (2 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

Over 780,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan. 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.

This Information was collected following armed attacks that took place on 13 June 2024 in the municipality section of Lagon located in the municipality of Terre Neuve (Department of Artibonite). As a result of these attacks, 1,060 people were displaced, particularly towards the municipality of Gonaïves (68%). All of these people took refuge with host families.

This information was collected following armed clashes that took place in the lower part of the municipality of Delmas in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince, since 13 June 2024.
As a result of these clashes, 767 people were displaced and the majority of them (67%) took refuge with host families in neighborhoods in the same municipality and in that of Port-au-Prince. The other 33% took refuge in two spontaneous sites where other displaced persons have been residing for several months. Updates will be published by DTM according to the
evolution of displacements.

Depuis le 27 mai 2024, des violents combats entre les FARDC et le groupe M23 et leurs alliés dans le territoire de Rutshuru se sont rapprochés de l’agglomération de Kanyabayonga, situé à cheval des territoires de Lubero et Rutshuru. Des populations hôtes de villages de la zone de santé de Kibirizi en groupement de Kanyabayonga (villages de Lusuli Bulindi, Lusogha, Burindule, et Butalongola) dans le territoire de Rutshuru et ceux des communes rurales de Kanyabayonga et Bulotwa (territoire de Lubero) ainsi que les personnes déplacées déjà reçues dans les zones affectées ont été contraint de se déplacer vers les zones considérées comme relativement sécure. Ces zones de refuge se trouvent territoire de Lubero dans les zones de santé de Kayna, Alimbongo, et Butembo; et dans le territoire de Walikale dans la zone de santé de Pinga (groupement d’Ikobo). Ces ménages déplacés ont été reçus en majorité dans les familles d’accueil ainsi que dans les centres collectifs. Les besoins humanitaires sont considérables dans l'ensemble des zones touchées et risquent de s'aggraver encore sans une action urgente.
