Event Tracking

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 5 October 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 2,819 households (HH) (16,914 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 29 September and 5 October 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 24 households (144 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma'rib (15 HH) – Ma'rib City (13 HHs), Ma'rib (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Sanaa.
• Taiz (5 HHs) – Al Maafer (3 HHs), Al Misrakh (1 HH), Salah (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Al Hodeidah (4 HHs) – Hays (4 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.

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

• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Hays (4 HHs), Bayt Al Faqih (2 HH), As Salif (1 HH) districts.
• Ta'iz (6 HHs) – Maqbanah (3 HHs), At Taiziyah (1 HH), Salah (1 HH) districts.
• Sanaa (2 HHs) – At Tyal (2 HHs) district.

IOM identified 70 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 22 - 28 September 2024, in the governorates of Lahj (38 HHs), Al Hodeidah (24 HHs), and Ma'rib (8 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

The Flood Displacement Summary summarizes DTM updates on incidents of flood-induced displacement across Sudan.  

Between 01 June and 04 October 2024, DTM Sudan reported 126 incidents of heavy rains and floods that triggered sudden displacement in Sudan. Rains and floods have displaced an estimated 186,765 individuals (37,353 households) from locations across 15 different states across Sudan.  

This report outlines incidents of flood-induced displacement between 21 September and 04 October 2024. Information on earlier reported incidents is available on the DTM Sudan website. 

Highlights   

• DTM observed three incidents of flood-induced displacement between 21 September and 04 October 2024.   
• These reported incidents triggered the displacement of an estimated 5,930 individuals (1,186 households).   
• Approximately 4,040 structures were either partially damaged or destroyed by the rain and floods.   
• An estimated 43 per cent of individuals displaced due to floods were already displaced due to conflict.   

This information was gathered following attacks that occurred in the commune of Saint Marc, specifically in the 5th communal section of Bocozelle, on 3rd of October 2024. A total of 6,270 individuals (1,281 households) were displaced as a result of these attacks. These individuals sought refuge in the communes of La Chapelle, Montrouis, Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite, and Saint-Marc, with 88% of them staying with relatives as host families, while 12% found refuge in three separate sites. At the time of drafting this report, the displacements were still ongoing. Updates will be disseminated by DTM IOM based on observations of new movements.

Environ 910 000 personnes sont estimées avoir traversé la frontière vers le Tchad depuis le début de la crise au Soudan, incluant 213 339 parmi eux qui sont des retournés tchadiens depuis fin juillet. L’OIM s’attend à ce que ce nombre passe à 240 000 d’ici fin décembre 2024, en raison de la reprise du conflit au Darfour.
