Entre août et décembre 2022, l'OIM France a mené une enquête auprès des ressortissants de pays tiers (RPT) déplacés d'Ukraine en France. L'étude vise à recueillir des informations sur les profils, le parcours et les intentions des ressortissants non-ukrainiens qui ont fui l'Ukraine en raison du conflit armé. L'OIM France a collecté ces informations sur le territoire national, avec en particulier le soutien de quatre ONGs (Entraide Pierre Valdo, France Fraternités, Pottal Fii Bhantal France, Maison des Camerounais de France). Au total, 52 ressortissants étrangers déplacés d'Ukraine ont accepté de répondre volontairement et anonymement à l'enquête menée par le personnel de l'OIM (47 entretiens en personne et 5 par téléphone). Les résultats sont basés sur un échantillon de convenance, ce qui signifie que les résultats s'appliquent uniquement aux personnes interrogées dans le cadre de l'enquête, et non à la population générale.

The Registered IDP Area Baseline Assessment provides granular data on the number and geographic location of officially registered internally displaced people (IDPs). This report assesses registered IDP presence at the raion level, also mapping the recorded change since the previous round. Round 28 presents the data of the registered IDP population disaggregated by sex, age and state-recognised disability status.

Registered IDP figures were collected for 1,039 hromadas (78% of all hromadas covered in Ukrainian government-controlled areas).

• The IDP caseload has been observed in 4,728 locations across all of Sudan’s 18 states.
• The highest proportions of IDPs have been observed in River Nile (12.45%), South Darfur (11.09%), East Darfur (10.82%), Aj Jazirah (7.92%), Northern (7.82%), and North Darfur (7.34%).

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.

From June to October 2022, storms and heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan caused widespread flooding and landslides across the country. As of 18 November 2022, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), up to 33 million people have been affected by the floods and a total of 90 districts have been labelled by the Government of Pakistan as ‘calamity-hit’.

Between May and June 2023, IOM implemented a third round of the CNI to provide partners with timely information on the displacement situation, the multisectoral needs of the affected population as well as the recovery needs at the settlement level. For this round, IOM implemented the CNI in nine districts of Balochistan. The CNI was conducted in 3,261 flood-affected settlements or settlements that hosted temporary displaced persons (TDPs) across the nine targeted districts.
