Reports

Following the heavy rainfall which occurred between 10 and 15 February 2020, a rapid assessment was conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the National Disasters Management Institute (INGC). The assessment focuses on understanding the extent of damages to shelters and facilities across all existing resettlement sites in Sofala and Zambesia provinces. A similar assessment was also conducted in all sites across Manica province. As a result of this heavy rainfall and severe flooding, 71,070 individuals were affected, of these, 15,755 were evacuated to 30 accommodation centres set up in Buzi, Cheringoma, Gorongosa, Maringue and Nhamatanda districts in Sofala province. For Sofala and Zambesia specifically, out of the 42 sites assessed in Sofala and Zambesia, 29 were affected by the rains. In total, 227 upgraded shelters, 369 emergency shelters and 97 tents were completely destroyed due to the heavy rain. IOM identified additional 168 shelters (upgraded, emergency shelters and tents) with major damages to walls and roofing, 1,848 shelters partially damaged, 1,462 latrines and 13 water points damaged.  Six schools were damaged in total across the two provinces assessed; one in Buzi (inhajou 2019 site) and two in Dondo (Mandruzi and Savane sites) in Sofala province, as well as two in Maganja Da Costa (Mussaia and Parreirao sites) and one in Namacurra (Ronda site) in Zambesia province. 

The International Organization for Migration's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has confirmed displacement of 2,965 individuals (593 households) in Lalama, Maridi County who fled armed conflict in Rasolo, bordering Maridi and Yei County.

Dans le contexte des conflits touchant les régions de Tahoua et Tillabéry, et de la détérioration de la situation sécuritaire dans la région du Liptako Gourma (zone transfrontalière chevauchant le Burkina Faso, le Mali et le Niger), L’OIM, en collaboration avec le Ministère de l’Action Humanitaire et de la Gestion des Catastrophes (MAH/GC) met en œuvre, depuis décembre 2019, la composante du suivi des déplacements de la Matrice de Suivi des Déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix, DTM en anglais). Le présent tableau de bord offre un résumé des résultats clés de la première ronde d’évaluations DTM, menée du 2 au 28 décembre 2019 dans 49 localités (reparties dans 2 régions, 9 départements et 16 communes) accueillant des PDI. Un total de 104 565 PDI (15 081 ménages) ont été identifiées, dont 76% dans la région de Tillabéri et 24% dans la région de Tahoua. 94% des PDI se sont déplacées en raison de l'insécurité, tandis que 6% se sont déplacés suite à des catastrophes naturelles. 93% vivent dans des sites spontanés, 6% au sein de communautés hôtes, et 1% dans des centres collectifs. 48% vivent dans des abris en bâche, 36% dans des abris en paille ou tôle et 13% sont sans abri.     

During 10 - 16 February 2020, a total of 2,883 movements were recorded, composed of 2,397 arrivals and 486 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Damboa, Dikwa, Gwoza, Konduga, Mobbar and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Borno State. Arrivals were also recorded in Demsa, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Madagali, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State. Departures were recorded in Bama and Kala/Balge LGAs of Borno State. Departures were also recorded in Demsa, Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.   ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (45%), poor living conditions (42%), improved security (8%), fear of attack (3%), military operations (1%) and conflict/attack (1%).

The aim of PMM in South Sudan is to inform the 2020 EVD National Preparedness Plan by providing partners with relevant information on population mobility and cross-border movements. More broadly, it aims to improve prevention, detection and response to the spread of infectious diseases through an improved understanding of prevailing human mobility patterns. The specific objectives of this exercise are: Provide information on the dynamics and characteristics of mobility between DRC, particularly EVD-affected areas, other countries at risk of EVD transmission and South Sudan to help prevent and detect the potential spread of EVD to South Sudan Identify priority locations in high risk areas, for the implementation of public health emergency preparedness measures. In collaboration, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Migration Health teams rolled out PMM in South Sudan in 2 stages: 1. Population Flow Monitoring (FM): As part of IOM’s EVD preparedness activities, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been operating 26 Flow Monitoring Points (FMP) on the borders with DRC, Uganda (UGA) and the Central African Republic (CAR). The findings presented in this report cover the period of 1 January to 31 October 2019 2. Participatory Mapping Exercises (PME): IOM, in coordination with South Sudan's Ministry of Health, carried out two PMEs in South Sudan to complement FM results and inform preparedness activities. The participatory mapping approach involves collecting information from key informants through facilitated group discussions.

The Central Sahel area, and in particular the Liptako-Gourma region, which borders Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, is affected by a complex crisis involving growing competition over dwindling resources; climatic variability; demographic pressure; high levels of poverty; disaffection and a lack of livelihood opportunities; communal tensions; the absence of state institutions and basic services; and violence related to organized crime and Non-State Armed Groups. The crisis has led to the death of an estimated 4,000 people and triggered significant displacement of populations in the three affected countries. As of 17 February 2020, 1,217,797 individuals have been displaced, including 1,069,460 Internally Displaced Persons (88% of the displaced population) and 148,337 Refugees (12% of the displaced population). Sixty-five per cent of the affected population (790,959 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 17 per cent resided in Mali (208,859 individuals), 13 per cent in Niger (161,064 individuals) and 5 per cent in Mauritania (56,915 individuals).

During the reporting period:  • PhiVolcs lowered the volcanic alert from level 3 to level 2 signifying decreased unrest. However, unrest has not ceased and another eruption is still possible.• The government has made available a number of relocation options for the IDPs coming from the permanently locked-down barangays on the Taal Volcano Island.• The relocation site in Talaibon, Ibaan, Batangas now hosts 178 displaced families or 760 IDPs.• The IDP transit site in Malainin Rehabilitation Center, Ibaan, Batangas currently hosts 134 families or 510 IDPs pending durable solutions.

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- 15 Feb 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 3,677  Households or 22,062 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once.   Between the 09th Feb 2020 and 15th of Feb 2020, the highest number of displacements were seen in: ·        Al Dhale’e (110 HH) – Qa’atabah (75 HH), Ad Dhale'e (21 HH), Damt (6 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal. ·        Taizz (47 HH) – Al Silw (23 HH), Al Qahirah (6 HH) and Sabir Al Mawadim (5 HH) districts. Most of displaced households were originated from Taizz, and Al Hudaydah. ·        Al Jawf (22 HH) – Al Khalq (20 HH) district. Most displacements households were originated from Marib ·        Hadramaut (16 HH) – Al Abr (13 HH), Tarim (4 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Marib and Sa’ada   Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts. ·        Al Dhale'e (94  HH) – Qa’atabah (76 HH) and Al Husha (12 HH) districts. ·        Taiz (35 HH) – At Ta'iziyah (6 HH) and Sabir Al Mawadim (5 HH) districts. ·        Marib (31 HH) – Majzar (23 HH) and Sirwah (7 HH) districts.

Mobility tracking aims to quantify the presence and needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and relocated individuals in displacement sites and host communities across South Sudan. The assessments are repeated at regular intervals to track mobility dynamics and needs over time. This summary presents the main findings on SNFI from the multi-sectoral location assessment component of the sixth round of Mobility Tracking in South Sudan, carried out in June 2019.
