It is published on a monthly basis and covers the West and Central Africa Region.
The crisis in North Central and North West, 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) frequently leads to the displacement of local populations. Recent attacks affected 421 individuals, including 27 injuries and 15 fatalities, in Faskari LGA (Katsina), Bassa LGA (Plateau) and Keana LGA (Nasarawa) between 30 and 31 May 2020. The attacks damaged major buildings and facilities causing people to flee to neighboring communities. A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and needs.
La DTM a identifié 135 058 personnes déplacées internes (PDI) et 29 098 ménages déplacés au mois de avril.
This Middle East and North Africa (MENA) report summarizes mobility restrictions at airports, land and blue border crossing points resulting from the mitigation measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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 23 to 29 May 2020, 170 movements were observed at ten Points of Entries in Adamawa and Borno states. Of the total movements recorded, 103 were incoming from Extreme-Nord in Cameroon and 3 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.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Libyan authorities initiated public health measures in March 2020 aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. These measures include travel and mobility restrictions due to the closure of airports, points of entry (POE) along land borders. However, on 05 May 2020, Libyan authorities started the repatriation of Libyans stranded abroad through Misrata, Benghazi Benina and Al Abraq airports, as well as Emsaed and Ras Ajdir land border crossing points.
The DTM has identified 135,058 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 29,098 households in the month of April 2020.
In response to this pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the Government of Mozambique’s National Disaster Management Agency (INGC) conducted an assessment in the resettlement sites from 19 to 23 May 2020, with the sole purpose to inform the government and humanitarian partners on the preparedness and precautionary measures that are available in resettlement sites hosting displaced populations since Cyclone Idai. The information gathered will help decision-makers to plan interventions and restrictions and to recommend health and site preparations measures for outbreak prevention and containment in the resettlement sites in the central region. In the 72 resettlement sites assessed, nine sites (Bandua 2019, Begaja, Chingemidji, Inhajou 2019 and Maximedje sites in Buzi district of Sofala province and Chibue, Macocoe, Mucombe and Ngurue sites in Sussudenga district of Manica province) reported that in the past month, 39 migrant workers from South Africa and Zimbabwe settled in the sites. Ninety per cent of the sites reported a noticeable change in people’s behaviours and habits to better prevent COVID-19.
The ongoing conflict in Yemen, since March 2015, has led to the displacement of more than 3.6 million people (according to DTM's 2018 Area Assessment). DTM's Rapid Displacement Tracking 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. From 01 January 2020- 30 May 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 14,429 Households or 86,574 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once. Between the 24th of May 2020 and 30th of May 2020, the highest number of displacements were seen in: · Lahj (131 HH) – Al Had (124 HH), Habil Jabr (7 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Aden. · Al Dhale'e (82 HH) – Jahaf (22 HH), Al Azariq (16 HH), Ash Shu'ayb (16 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Aden and Al Dhale'e. · Taizz (22 HH) – Sabir Al Mawadim (7 HH), Jabal Habashy (6 HH), Mashra'a Wa Hadnan (4 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Aden and Al Taizz. Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts: · Al Dhale'e (20 HH) – Qa'atabah (14 HH), Ad Dhale'e (4 HH) districts. · Al Hudaydah (9 HH) – Al Garrahi (9 HH) district. Most displacement resulted from spread of COVID-19 in the following Governorates and districts: · Aden (222 HH) – Al Mansura (100 HH), Khur Maksar (29 HH), Ash Shaikh Outhman (29 HH) districts. Please note that last week’s reported displacement, should have also been recorded as COVID-19 related displacement. Focal points indicate that households reported leaving Aden because limited water availability, crowded, and increasing COVID-19 illness. Focal Points in Al Maharah and Socotra have indicated that there is anticipation of rain and heavy wind over the coming weeks, and therefore a likelihood of displacement, as we have already seen in Socotra, after 30 May. Methods used: · 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. Limitations: · DTM Yemen is unable to report on figures in some governorates due to access limitations.
