Assessment Report

Este reporte brinda información sobre el volumen de las poblaciones que transitan durante las horas de observación en tres puntos fronterizos del Perú (Tumbes, Tacna y Desaguadero). A través de esta herramienta se recopila información una vez a la semana y estima el volumen de los flujos observados.

This report presents the findings of the Migrant Presence Monitoring (MPM) data collection exercise conducted by IOM in Lebanon from May to July 2024, covering all districts. The MPM is an annual assessment that aims to determine the number of migrants present in different areas of Lebanon to support humanitarian assistance and planning efforts. To ensure accurate data, the MPM relies on key informants (KIs), such as representatives from migrant communities, local leaders (mukhtars), and municipal officials. This year, recruitment agencies were also included as KIs to enhance data reliability in their respective areas. The assessment focuses on small areas to gather detailed and precise information. It not only categorizes migrants by nationality, sex, and age but also considers their living situations, distinguishing between “live-in” and “live-out” migrants. Overall, the MPM provides valuable insights into the migrant population in Lebanon, contributing to informed decision-making and effective support for those in need.

The information from IOM-MPM's findings, complementary to data from past assessments, aims to enable partners across the international community and Lebanese partners to have access to an evidence base on migrant presence, to support well-informed, targeted, and coordinated response. The complementary evidence generated from the MPM exercise also serves as a baseline and tertiary source for triangulation for other data collection exercises. For example, MPM data was used to develop of a sampling frame of migrants for the Multi-Sectorial Needs Assessment (MSNA) 2021, 2022 and 2023 exercises led by the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT).

The MPM assessment follows the methodology of IOM’s global Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Mobility Tracking component. Tailored to the operational context in Lebanon, the MPM assessment analyzes data to provide multi-layered information on the presence and mobility of migrants. This assessment aims to complement existing data collection exercises and it is implemented in coordination with key actors to maximize synergies, interoperability and avoid duplication.

This report reflects data corresponding to Sudan Mobility Update (6) dataset. The dataset is available here.

Overview: 
This report provides an overview of the total population of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan, including those displaced both before and after the onset of the conflict on 15 April 2023.   
 
Key Findings: 

• An estimated total of 10,763,116 IDPs were displaced to 8,842 locations, in 183 localities, across all 18 states in Sudan. 
• An estimated 7,987,783 individuals were displaced internally within Sudan since 15 April 2023.  
• An estimated 27 per cent of IDPs who were initially displaced prior to the onset of the current conflict experienced secondary displacement since 15 April 2023.  
• Approximately 2,316,538 individuals crossed borders into neighbouring countries since 15 April 2023.  
• The top states of origin among IDPs were Khartoum (34%), South Darfur (19%), and North Darfur (14%).   
• The states hosting the most IDPs were South Darfur (17%), North Darfur (15%) and Gedaref (9%).  
• Over half (52%) of IDPs were reportedly children under the age of 18-years-old.  

 

Annex 1 includes an operational matrix with a table of estimated IDPs per state, disaggregated by displacement before versus after 15 April 2023.  

Note: The number of IDPs displaced post 15 April 2023 (7,9987,783 IDPs) includes the estimated 1,045,439 IDPs who were initially displaced prior to 15 April 2023 and experienced secondary displacement since 15 April 2023. DTM Sudan defines an internally displaced person as any person who has been forced or obliged to flee from their habitual residence due to an event dating from 2003 onwards. 

 

This report provides insights into the profiles, experiences, needs, routes travelled and intentions of migrants transiting through the Western Balkans. IOM surveyed 760 migrants from 1 July to 31 July 2024 in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo*.

Mobility Tracking and Multi Sectoral Location Assessment Data was collected in Wajir County between 1 and 19 November 2023. Key findings included:

• Drought was the main reported driver of displacement: 21% of sub locations reported that they had to travel more than 45 minutes by foot to access drinking water

 

• Key informants in 30 sub-locations reported they had no functional water sources

 

• Of the 20,500 assessed households in the county, 1,871 households were headed by children. Of these, 1,124 children (60%) were without relatives or community support and 309 (17%) children were without any support

 

• 90% of arrivals arrived at sub-locations which already struggled with the severe effects of drought, resource-based conflict, and ethnic clashes indicating that ‘arrivals’ had insufficient resources to travel to more distant, resource-rich environments and indicating a possible cycle of displacement as needs are not met in locations of displacement

 

• 89%of key informants reported the presence of pastoralist households. Yet two thirds of pastoralist households dropped pastoralism between

 

• six months to one year before data collection- at the peak of the drought period This indicates significant economic and cultural shifts for pastoralists 67%

 

The Natural Disaster Displacement Summary compiles DTM updates on incidents of flood-induced displacement across Sudan. 

Between 01 June and 12 August 2024, DTM Sudan reported 60 incidents of heavy rains and floods that triggered sudden displacement in Sudan. Rains and floods have displaced an estimated 117,835 individuals (23,567 households) from locations across 12 different states in Sudan. 

This report outlines incidents of flood-induced displacement between 6 and 12 August 2024. For information on earlier reported incidents, see Natural Disaster Displacement Summary (Update 001). 

• DTM observed 31 incidents of flood-induced displacement  between 6 and 12 August 2024.  
• These reported incidents triggered the displacement of an estimated 96,465 individuals (19,293 households).  
• Approximately 32,611 structures were either partially damaged or destroyed by the rain and floods. 

Note: All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification. DTM Sudan will continue to provide updates on flood-induced displacement via Early Warning Flash alerts, distributed via the DTM-IOM Sudan mailing list.  For further information on displacement and mobility in Sudan, see Sudan Mobility Update (05). 

 
 

Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.

نظرة عامة: يقوم سجل مراقبة التدفق (FMR) الخاص بمصفوفة تتبع النزوح في اليمن (DTM) التابعة للمنظمة الدولية للهجرة بمراقبة وصول المهاجرين على طول الحدود الساحلية الجنوبية لليمن وعودة المواطنين اليمنيين على طول حدودها الشمالية مع المملكة العربية السعودية (KSA) لتحديد أنماط الهجرة وتقديم تقديرات كمية لعدد المهاجرين غير النظاميين الذين يدخلون البلاد. من المهم أن نفهم أن نشرة الهجرة القسرية لا تتضمن جميع تدفقات الهجرة كما يتضح من عمليات المغادرة إلى اليمن التي التقطتها مصفوفة تتبع النزوح التابعة للمنظمة الدولية للهجرة في جيبوتي إلى مناطق على طول الساحل الغربي لليمن والتي ظلت غير قابلة للوصول لإجراء التقييمات. وبدلا من ذلك، فإنه يوفر رؤى إرشادية حول اتجاهات الهجرة استنادا إلى العدد الإجمالي المعروف للمهاجرين الذين يصلون على طول الحدود الساحلية والبرية الخاضعة للمراقبة خلال الفترة المشمولة بالتقرير.

ملخص النتائج: في يوليو 2024، تتبعت مصفوفة تتبع النزوح في اليمن التابعة للمنظمة الدولية للهجرة 1,345 مهاجرًا دخلوا اليمن، وهو ما يمثل انخفاضًا بنسبة 26 بالمائة عن الرقم الإجمالي المُبلغ عنه في الشهر السابق (1,820 مهاجرًا). غادر جميع المهاجرين (100٪) من منطقة باري في الصومال.

ومن بين إجمالي المهاجرين المسجلين، كان 26 في المائة أطفال، و22 في المائة نساء، و52 في المائة رجال.

وعادةً ما تكون لحج بمثابة نقطة دخول للمهاجرين المغادرين عبر جيبوتي، في حين تعد شبوة بمثابة نقطة دخول للمهاجرين المغادرين عبر الصومال. خلال الفترة المشمولة بالتقرير، غادر جميع المسجلين الصومال إلى المنطقة الساحلية بمحافظة شبوة. خلال الفترة نفسها، لم تتعقب المنظمة الدولية للهجرة أي مهاجرين يغادرون من جيبوتي إلى لحج، ويرجع ذلك على الأرجح إلى التدابير التي اتخذتها الحكومة لمكافحة التهريب. منذ تنفيذ هذه الإجراءات، اعتبارًا من أغسطس 2023، أصبح تدفق المهاجرين على طول هذا الطريق غائبًا تقريبًا في الأشهر التي تلت ذلك، مع استثناء واحد في ديسمبر 2023 عندما أحضر قارب 110 مهاجرين إلى الشاطئ.

OVERVIEW: The Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) of the IOM Yemen Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) monitors the arrival of migrants along Yemen’s southern coastal border and the return of Yemeni nationals along its northern border with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to identify migration patterns and provide quantitative estimates of the irregular migrant population entering the country. It’s crucial to understand that the FMR does not capture all migration flows as demonstrated by departures to Yemen captured by IOM DTM Djibouti to areas along the West Coast of Yemen which have remained inaccessible for assessments. Instead, it provides indicative insights into migration trends based on a known total number of migrants arriving along monitored coast and land borders during the reporting period.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: In July 2024, the IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,345 migrants entering Yemen, a 26 per cent decrease from the total figure reported in the previous month (1,820 migrants). All migrants (100%) left from Bari Region in Somalia.

Among the total migrants recorded, 26 per cent were children, 22 per cent were women, and 52 per cent were men.

Typically, Lahj serves as an entry point for migrants departing through Djibouti whereas Shabwah serves as an entry point for migrants departing through Somalia. During this reporting period, all recorded departed from Somalia to the coastal area of Shabwah Governorate. During the same period, no migrants departing from Djibouti to Lahj were tracked by IOM, likely due to measures taken by the government to combat smuggling. Since those measures were implemented, starting August 2023, the flow of migrants along this route has been nearly absent in the months that followed, with one exception in December 2023 when a boat brought 110 migrants to shore.

On 3 May 2023, the Upper Nile State government in collaboration with a task force sub-committee established the Malakal Transit Centre (TC) to coordinate the movements of individuals arriving from Renk due to the conict in Sudan. The TC aims to provide Onward Transportation Assistance (OTA) to individuals who intend to move to other areas within South Sudan. On 10 August 2024, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with UNHCR, DRC, and HDC onducted a rapid intention survey at Malakal TC aimed at tracking population dynamics and displacement patterns in the center, to better inform humanitarian response and improve on the Onward Transportation Assistance (OTA) operations. According to the headcount conducted on August 10, 2024, the TC hosts 1,498 individuals (1,474 South Sudanese returnees, 19 Sudanese nationals, and 5 other nationals), showing a decrease of 1,521 individuals compared to April 2024.
