Flow Monitoring

En mai 2024, 33 685 mouvements migratoires ont été observés aux points de suivi des flux (PSF) à Djibouti dont 17 319 individus entrants en provenance d’Éthiopie. Les individus entrants en provenance d’Éthiopie ont baissé de 5 pour cent en mai par rapport à avril, principalement due au commencement de la forte chaleur qui règne et de l'avènement du vent Khamsin.

Un total de 1 240 migrants de retour du Yémen a été enregistré en mai à Obock et Tadjourah soit une hausse de 97 pour cent passant de 631 en avril à 1 240 en mai. Cette augmentation est liée à la campagne militaire en cours et aux défis considérables auxquels sont confrontés les migrants au Yémen, ainsi qu’aux circonstances désespérées qui les ont amenés à risquer des voyages dangereux en mer.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Pakistan collects data on the outflows of Afghans at the Torkham (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Badini, Bahramcha and Chaman (Balochistan) border crossing points (BCPs) to better understand the movements of Afghans returning to Afghanistan.

The data presented below is harmonised with those from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), who also cover Ghulam Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).

On 26 September 2023, the Ministry of Interior in Pakistan announced its decision to enact its “Illegal Foreigners’ Repatriation Plan (IFRP)”. Between 1 and 15 June 2024, 22,167 Afghan nationals returned to Afghanistan, including 18,367 through the Torkham BCP, 3,439 through the Chaman BCP, 361 through the Ghulam Khan BCP, while no Afghan nationals returned through the Badini and Bahramcha BCPs. In addition, border authorities deported 404 individuals due to a lack of valid documentation. Since 1 January 2024, IOM identified 141,089 returns at the four BCPs.

DTM Europe gathers, validates and disseminates information on migrants and refugees travelling through the Mediterranean, Western African Atlantic, and Western Balkan routes to Europe. Key routes include:

• Eastern Mediterranean route (EMR): Bulgaria, Cyprus and Greece
• Central Mediterranean route (CMR): Italy and Malta
• Western Mediterranean route (WMR): Peninsular Coasts of Spain, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla
• Western African Atlantic route (WAAR): Canary Islands of Spain

DTM also monitors data on migrants in transit through the Western Balkans (WB) region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania, and Kosovo*). These are considered separately to prevent to the extent possible the double counting of the same persons that cross multiple borders to reach Europe.

This report presents the latest available data and trends, focusing on 2023:

• Mixed Migration Flows to Europe
• Migrant Flows Monitoring in the Republic of Türkiye
• First Arrival countries (Italy, Greece, Spain) and other countries of first arrival (Bulgaria, Cyprus and Malta)
• Transits through the Western Balkan region
• Migrants' presence, in Europe and the Republic of Türkiye

The IOM Afghanistan’s DTM Flow Monitoring activity is designed to provide insights into the mobility patterns at Afghanistan’s border points with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. The activity involves two interlinked exercises: the Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), a headcount of individuals crossing the border, and the Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS), which collect data on the profiles and intentions of randomly selected Afghan nationals. DTM FM is operational at four main crossing points (connected to Afghanistan’s National Highway) as well as five other crossing points with Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. This weekly snapshot combines information from the FM activity and various IOM sources related to cross-border movement. For a detailed explanation of the methodology used in gathering this data, the report directs readers to the section titled “IOM INFLOW DATA” on the last page.
 

This report provides insights into the profiles, experiences and journeys of migrants transiting through the Republic of Serbia. Data was collected from 1 to 31 May 2024 together with the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration of the Republic of Serbia (SCRM).

According to the latest figures from the Turkish Presidency of Migration Management (PMM), there are more than 4.5 million foreigners in Türkiye, of whom 3.4 million are seeking international protection.

Another group of foreigners are international protection holders mainly from Iraq, Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Ukraine.

In 2023, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there were 296,685 refugees and asylum seekers in Türkiye. In addition, 1,119,919 foreigners with residence permits were in Türkiye as of April 2024, which is 187,928 people less than in April 2023.
