The DTM Monthly Regional Update contains consolidated summary updates and highlights from DTM field operations. This document covers updates from the regional network of flow monitoring of migrants, as well as the tracking and monitoring of internal displacement in the different countries.

The ongoing conflict in Jur River has caused wide-spread displacement since March 2019 within the county, into neighboring Wau Town and reaching as far as Tambura in neighboring Western Equatoria. This report focuses on those displaced to Wau Protection of Civilians Area Adjacent to UNMISS site (PoC AA) and two collective centres, Masna and Cathedral based on a variety of DTM data sources. There was a 30 per cent increase in the populations of Wau Town displacement sites between March and May 2019 with the population of some sites more than doubling (5 collective centres and Wau PoC AA DTM headcount) over the period.

Wau Town features one protection of civilians (PoC) site and five collective centres in which IOM DTM conducts monthly headcounts to monitor changing population dynamics and displacement trends. In July 2019, the monthly count was conducted in Cathedral, Nazareth, St. Joseph, Lokoloko and Masna collective centres where a total of 13,687 individuals were identified. As part of a biometric verification process, a fixing exercise replaced the headcount at Wau PoC AA according to which 12,959 individuals currently live at the site bringing the population of all six locations to 26,646, an 18 per cent drop since June.

As per the July 2019 headcount, the population stands at 103,424 individuals (18,140 households). Whilst DTM observed a decrease of over 13,000 individuals between January and March 2019, the population has since seen a slight net increase (3%).  Displacement site flow monitoring suggests that this increase could in large part be due to new arrivals from Sudan. Children under the age of five constitute 35.6 per cent of the PoC site’s population. Overall, 52.2 per cent of the population are male and 47.8 per cent are female. 

Since the last update of IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) on 11 August 2019, the security situation in Murzuq reportedly remained volatile. DTM identified an additional 525 internally displaced families (approximately 2,625 individuals) since the previous report, bringing the total number of internally displaced persons from Murzuq to at least 1,285 families (approximately 6,425 individuals) who have been forced to leave their homes due to armed conflict since the beginning of August. Furthermore, around 270 migrants from Niger, Chad and Nigeria were reportedly also displaced from Murzuq.

Within the period of 5 – 11 August, a total of 1,084 movements were recorded, including 687 arrivals and 397 departures.

Departures were recorded in Askira/Uba, Gwoza and Kala/Balge LGAs of Borno state and locations in Fufore, Girei, Hong, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Numan, song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa state. ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (32%), improved security (20%), flood (1%), Military operations (0.5%), Fear of attack (2%), Improved security (20%) and poor living conditions (45%).
