IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) collected data through surveys conducted between January 1 and June 23, 2024, with Refugees from Ukraine in nine countries: Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the Republic of Moldova, and Slovakia. The data is based on responses from 9,157 adult Ukrainian nationals who arrived in these countries after January 1, 2022.

Key findings:
Children’s Education: 86% of households have school-aged children. Nine out of ten children (92%) are enrolled in some form of schooling, including in local schools, remotely in Ukrainian schools, both (dual enrolment), or homeschooling.
Households with Disabilities: Households with a child with a disability have at higher rates at least one child not attending school (26%) compared to households without a child with disabilities (6%).
Barriers to Employment: 11% of respondents reported that a lack of recognition of their qualifications in the host country was a barrier to finding employment.
Education and Language: 49% of respondents had attended language courses, and many adults (22%) expressed a desire to continue their education to improve job prospects.

This report provides insights into the profiles, experiences, needs, routes travelled and intentions of migrants transiting through Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Data was collected from 1 to 30 September 2024. IOM carried out a route observation exercise in the Republika Srpska, Sarajevo Canton, Posavina Canton, Tuzla Canton, Bosnian-Podrinje Canton and Una Sana Canton to monitor trends in entries and exits as well as transit modalities within BiH. IOM also surveyed 272 migrants in active transit locations such as bus stops or at key entry and exit locations throughout the country as well as in four transit reception centres (TRCs) in BiH (Lipa, Ušivak, Borići and Blažuj).

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.

Since 01 April 2024, DTM monitored numerous clashes across Al Fasher and other localities in North Darfur state that triggered widespread displacement.

Reported clashes displaced an estimated 410,376 individuals (82,272 households) between 01 April 2024 and 09 October 2024. 

The Focused Flash Alert provides a numeric breakdown of displacement due the recent escalations in Al Fasher locality from 01 April to 9 October 2024. All figures should be understood as preliminary estimates, pending further verification. For more information, see Focused Flash Alert North Darfur (Update 003), (Update 002), and (Update 001). 

DTM Sudan releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to provide immediate updates on specific incidents or armed clashes that spurred displacement.  Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list. For more granular information on displacement and mobility, see Sudan Mobility Update (09).

This report provides insights into the profiles, experiences, needs, routes travelled and intentions of migrants transiting through the Western Balkans. IOM surveyed 979 migrants from 1 September to 30 September 2024 in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo*.

En août 2024, 38 627 mouvements migratoires ont été observés aux points de suivi des flux (PSF) de Djibouti. Parmi ces mouvements, 20 383 étaient entrants en provenance d'Éthiopie, soit une hausse de 6 % par rapport à juillet. Les migrants d’origine soudanaise (15) et tchadienne (4) ont été enregistrés dans les mouvements se dirigeant vers l’Arabie saoudite, caractérisant ainsi la diversification des nationalités de migrants en transit dans le pays.

Au cours de cette période, le nombre de migrants bloqués a augmenté de 6 % en raison principalement, d’une part, au renforcement des mesures de sécurité par les autorités djiboutiennes sur les côtes d’Obock et, d’autre part, des fortes pluies dans les régions où certains oueds en crue ont réduit des mouvements de migrants.

In August 2024, 38,627 migratory movements were observed at Djibouti's flow monitoring points (FMPs). Of these movements, 20,383 were inbound from Ethiopia, an increase of 6 per cent from July.

Migrants of Sudanese (15) and Chadian (4) origin were recorded in the movements heading for Saudi Arabia, thus characterising the diversification of the nationalities of migrants in transit in the country.

During the period, the number of migrants stranded increased by 6 per cent, mainly due to the Djibouti authorities stepping up security measures on the Obock coast and to heavy rainfall in the regions where some flooded wadis reduced migrant movements.

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.
