El Triángulo Norte de Centroamérica es una región de altos flujos migratorios. En particular, Guatemala es un país de tránsito para muchas personas migrantes que se dirigen principalmente a México y Estados Unidos. Con el fin de desarrollar un perfil de la población migrante en tránsito en Guatemala para informar a actores clave y proveedores de servicios, con énfasis en asistencia humanitaria y protección, la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM), desarrolló una encuesta de caracterízación de personas migrantes en tránsito (Guatemala, 1-5 febrero 2020).

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- 21 Mar 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 8,754 Households or 52,524 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once. Between the 15th Mar 2020 and 21th of Mar 2020, the highest number of displacements were seen in: · Marib (449 HH) – Marib (244 HH), Marib City (104 HH), Medghal (42 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Al Jawf. · Al Hudaydah (152 HH) – Bayt Al Faqiah (84 HH), Ad Durayhimi (68 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal . · Taizz (87 HH) – Ash Shamayatayn (17 HH), As Silw (12 HH), Mawza (11 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Al Hudaydah, Al Jawf and Taiz.

It was estimated that 51 transitional shelters and 222 makeshift shelters were completely burnt. There was extensive damage to properties belonging to IDPs including biometric IDs and food ration cards.Two individuals were also reported to have sustained first and second-degree burns and are currently being treated at ALIMA Clinic.

They include 13 children, 10 adult females and 6 adult males. Seven makeshift shelters were reportedly damaged, with one fatality also recorded. The affected individuals in the three camps are in immediate need of shelters, food items and Non-Food Items (NFIs). RESPONSE Following the incident at GSSSS Camp, an emergency meeting with various partners (International Organization for Migration [IOM], Grassroot Initiative for Strengthening Community Resilience [GISCOR], Norwegian Refugee Council [NRC], ACTED and INTERSOS in attendance was convened at noon on 17th March 2020. This was to assess the damages caused by the fire outbreak, ascertain the total number of affected population and mobilize for assistance. There are plans to move the affected individuals to the Reception Centre of Waterboard IDP Camp, while IOM and NRC are planning on assisting with hygiene and shelter kits. So far, NRC has responded with the supply of cold relief kits for the 212 households (767 individuals) affected.
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.
IOM's biometric registration has been active since 2014, with 933,607 beneficiaries active in its database to date, out of which 56 per cent (523,090 individuals) are female and 59 per cent (555,999 individuals) are under 18 years old. Since August 2018, IOM and World Food Programme (WFP) are collaborating on the project "Enhancing targeted food distribution through biometric data management" seeking to contribute to increased food security throughout South Sudan.
As part of IOM’s Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) preparedness activities, DTM operates Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) on the borders with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Central African Republic (CAR). In total, 20 EVD-dedicated FMPs were active in January, after Busia and Panjala FMPs on the Uganda – South Sudan border were phased out at the end of December 2019. This dashboard highlights key entry routes to South Sudan (SSD) and presents the emographic profile of people surveyed on arrival from the three neighbouring countries at risk of EVD transmission. Participation in the survey is voluntary and the data collected is only indicative of actual flows. To access the dataset, please click here.
DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) surveys people on the move at key transit points within South Sudan (SSD) and at its borders. It provides an insight into mobility trends, migration drivers and traveller profiles to inform programming by humanitarian and development partners and by the government. In total, 38 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in January 2020, surveying internal flows and cross-border travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). Three FMPs were deactivated in December: Panjala and Busia FMPs in Uganda on the border with Magwi and Morobo Counties, and Paloich FMP in Melut County. Additionally, Lasu and Tokori FMPs (Yei County) were phased out after operations had been suspended for security reasons since October 2019. Figures are only indicative of existing trends among respondents at the active FMPs since DTM does not have full coverage of cross-border or internal flows. Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous. To access the dataset, please click here.
In February 2020, the monthly population count was conducted at Cathedral, Nazareth, St. Joseph, Lokoloko and Masna collective centres where a total of 7,326 individuals were identified. This compares to an overall collective centre population of 10,414 in January 2020 representing a net decrease of 30 per cent, largely due to a reducing Masna population (reduction by 39% or -2,387 individuals). Please note that this reduction is not necessarily permanent and could be due to temporary absences in order to conduct land clearances or other activities away from the site. Decreases were observed across sites with the exception of Nazareth. The population of Wau PoC AA site decreased from 13,350 individuals in January 2020 to 12,915 individuals in February 2020 (decrease by 435 individuals, or 3%).
