IDP and Returnee Round 24 Report Key Findings 

This report presents information on the displacement situation in the Far North Region of Cameroon. Data was collected between 1-13 February 2019. The displaced population is estimated at 442,683 individuals (253,813 IDPs, 79,787 out of camp refugees and 109,083 returnees)

In mid-March 2019 DTM has conducted a rapid Ambae Returnee count. The data was collected from 2019-03-14 to 2019-03-18 by an enumerator team visiting all the communities on Ambae. A total of 80 interviews and site visits were conducted reaching 100% of Returnee communities.

This map, with data as of 18 March 2019, highlights areas with individals in temporary or emergency shelters. It also details areas which lost mobile coverage and road access following the 2018 eruption. It also shows the number and locations of individuals per village. 

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix is monitoring in and out flows of current IDPs sites in conjunction with Government of Mozambique / INGC. The map and table shows the number of individuals displaced evolution, as well as the current status of these sites in Beira city. DTM will update this map in a daily basis to better understand the displacement movements.

Ce rapport donne un aperçu de la situation dans la Région de l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun, où l’insécurité liée aux violences de groupes extrémistes armés, et dans une moindre mesure les phénomènes climatiques ont donné lieu à d’importants mouvements de population. Les informations présentées dans ce rapport ont été recueillies auprès des personnes déplacées avec l’accord et le soutien des autorités locales, entre le 1er et le 13 Février 2019. Lors du round 17 de la DTM, un total de 442 683 individus a été identifié, dont 253 813 PDI (soit 41 698 ménages), 79 787 réfugiés hors camps (13 220 ménages) et 109 083 retournés (soit 16 345 ménages). 94,3 pourcent des populations cibles (PDI, Réfugiés hors camp et Retournés) se sont déplacées en raison du conflit lié à Boko Haram tandis que 5,4 pourcent des déplacements ont été provoqués par des inondations, sécheresse et autres facteurs climatiques, et 0,3 pourcent par des conflits inter-communautaires.

The Assessing Water Shortage-Induced Displacement in Missan, Muthanna, Thi-Qar and Basra brief report provides updated information on the locations in Southern Iraq affected by water scarcity as well as water-induced displacement movements to and from the areas in the study. In the Southern governorates, 100 locations face drought and/or water scarcity: 58 locations are in Missan Governorate, 22 in Muthanna, 11 in Basra and 9 in Thi-Qar. Due to the shortages, 5,347 families are displaced from Southern governorates. The DTM - Iraq is tracking 2,587 of these families: 1,553 or 60% from Thi-Qar, 694 or 26.8% from Missan, 208 or 8% from Basra and 132 or 5.1% from Muthanna. From August 2018 to January 2019 the Southern governorates experienced a 56% decrease in locations identified as being affected by drought and/or water shortage. 18 new locations emerged during this time period.

As of 3 April 2019, according to Mozambique’s National Institute of Disaster Management (INGC), 131,136 individuals (32,290 families) have been displaced and taken shelter in evacuation centres in the four provinces of Sofala (107), Zambezia (3), Tete (5) and Manica (21). The majority of these centres are schools and churches.

CCCM has been supporting the INGC in identifying suitable sites to potentially relocate IDPs who are currently living in secondary schools that have been slated to reopen as per instruction of the Minister of Education. Four sites have been identified and have been surveyed. Site Plans are being prepared and all sites are already approved officially by INGC. One site (Picoco 1) has been established already by INGC but could benefit from site improvement works by CCCM.

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix is monitoring in and out flows of current IDPs sites. The map shows individual IDPs that are being moved out of the schools to the new temporary relocation sites in Beira city. DTM will update this map in a daily basis to better understand the Displacement movements. DTM team is currently expanding its assessment to the other affected areas.

Within the period of 25 - 31 March 2019, a total of 7,162 movements were recorded, including 6,628 arrivals and 534 departures.

Departures were recorded at Askira/Uba and Chibok LGAs of Borno state, Fufore and Numan LGAs of Adamawa state. ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (4%), improved security (1%), ongoing conflict (77%), fear of attack (2%), military operation (1%) and poor living conditions (15%).
