Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall in Zimbabwe on 15 March 2019 and the country experienced floods and sustained heavy rains which left a trail of destruction including shelter, lives and livelihoods mostly in Manicaland and Masvingo provinces. From 23 - 30 April 2020, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) team conducted a Multi-Sectoral Village Assessment Survey (MSVAS) in 196 villages across Buhera, Chimanimani and Chipinge Districts of Manicaland province. The following report is an analysis of the current situation of the IDPs in the affected villages.  The main objective of the survey was to better understand the living conditions of the population residing in return areas in order to support recovery and reintegration efforts by providing the support needed in terms of shelter, livelihoods and community infrastructure.

IOM DTM in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the state Ministry of Health have been conducting monitoring of individuals moving into Nigeria's conflict-affected northeastern states of Adamawa and Borno under pillar four (Points of entry) of COVID 19 preparedness and response planning guidelines. During the period 6 - 12 June 2020, 188 movements were observed at thirty four Points of Entries in Adamawa and Borno states. Of the total movements recorded, 42 were incoming from Extreme-Nord, 17 from Nord, 5 from Centre in Cameroon and 7 incoming from N’djamena in Chad Republic.   A range of data was collected during the assessment to better inform on migrants’ nationalities, gender, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in Figures 1 to 4 below.

With the onset of the rainy season in Nigeria’s conflict-affected northeastern State of Borno, varying degrees of damages are expected to infrastructures (self-made and constructed) in camps and camp-like settings. This is so because the rains are more often than not accompanied by very high winds and have been known to cause serious damage to properties.   On 15 June 2020, IOM’s DTM program carried out an assessment to ascertain the level of damage sustained in camps and camp-like settings due to heavy windstorm and rainfall on the 14th of June 2020. Overall, 17 camps were affected in Maiduguri, Jere and konduga LGAs. The worst-hit of the camps assessed was the 250 Housing Estate (Dalori II Camp) in Konduga LGA where a heavy rainfall damaged 33 shelters, 6 toilets and 1 shower point leaving an estimated 135 individuals without shelter and 4 injured individuals.   Other affected camps are: Shuwari 5 Camp, Koori Camp, Federal Low Cost Camp, Suleimanti, Teacher’s Village Camp, Bakasi Camp in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC); Muna Primary Camp, El-Miskin Center and Transit Camp, Al-Yakubu Camp managed by Norwegian Refugee Counci (NRC), Ahmed Grema Camp (managed by NRC), Bolori Burin Camp, Bulamatari Camp, Muna Asheri Camp in Jere LGA and Federal Training Center Camp (Dalori I Camp), 400 Housing Estate Gubio (Gubio Camp) in Konduga LGA.   There is a major need of shelter, shelter repair kits, construction and sanitation materials as a preparedness measure in all camps, provision of basic NFI as well as reconstruction of damaged toilets and shower areas. No casualty was reported.

DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects and reports on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography and needs. In the first nine months of 2019, conflict has resulted in new patterns of displacement, particularly in within Hajjah, Al Hudaydah, Al Dhale'e, Taizz governorates. Between 7 and 13 June, newly displaced households were recorded in Aden (100 HH), Lahj (97 HH), and Al Dhale'e (48 HH). Most of these displacements were the result of COVID-19 in Aden (187 HH), Lahj (41 HH), and as a result of increased fighting in Al Dhale'e (45 HH)

The crisis in Nigeria’s North Central and North West zones, which involves long-standing tensions between ethnic and linguistic groups; attacks by criminal groups; and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways) led to fresh wave of population displacement. Latest attacks affected 3,583 individuals, including 61 injuries and 52 fatalities, in Faskari LGA (Katsina) and Zango - Kalaf LGA (Kaduna) between 9 - 12 June 2020. The attacks caused people to flee to neighboring localities.   A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and immediate needs.

Durante las últimas semanas, El Salvador ha sido afectado por dos tormentas tropicales. La primera denominada Amanda del 28 al 30 de mayo y la segunda llamada Cristóbal del 1 al 7 de junio. Hasta la fecha de esta publicación la Dirección General de Protección Civil, Prevención y Mitigación de Desastres reporta 10,412 personas albergadas en 282 sitios colectivos temporales. Como parte de la respuesta humanitaria, la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones, la Dirección General de Protección Civil y la Comisión Técnica Sectorial de Albergues del Sistema Nacional de Protección Civil, Prevención y Mitigación de Desastres realizaron un levantamiento de información en los sitios colectivos temporales de los departamentos de La Libertad y San Salvador, por lo que se presenta el Reporte Situacional de los sitios colectivos temporales visitados. La OIM reconoce el apoyo de las distintas instituciones gubernamentales para el levantamiento de información del presente informe.  La OIM, en su rol de agencia líder del sector (cluster) de albergues de Naciones Unidas, trabajó en conjunto con la DGPC, FAES y con el apoyo técnico del Ministerio de Gobernación y el Ministerio de Educación, para cubrir 119 sitios (112 activos y 7 inactivos) de los departamentos de La Libertad y San Salvador. En total, más de 60 enumeradores, supervisores, conductores y funcionarios fueron desplegados a campo durante el 4 y 5 de junio para completar los 2 departamentos. Este reporte no está basado en un registro individual de personas y no debe usarse como una muestra estadísticamente significativa del total de la población albergada a nivel nacional.

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, and provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round Zero), and activated on a needs basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.
