Tropical Cyclone Idai hit eastern Zimbabwe on 15 March 2019. As of 21 March 2019, according to Zimbabwe’s Ministry for Information, Publicity and Broadcasting, the death toll has reached 139 individuals and 189 individuals are still missing in the wake of the flooding caused by the storm. In addition, the Government has confirmed that at least 50,000 households have been affected in the districts of Buhera, Chimanimani, Chipinge and Mutare.

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) interviewed 5,604 households (9,470 individuals) crossing into and out of Bentiu Protection of Civilians site (PoC) site, Malakal PoC site, Wau PoC Adjacent Area (AA) site and Wau collective centres (Cathedral, Nazareth, St. Joseph, Lokoloko and Masna combined in analysis) during January 2019. In line with previous trends, DTM continued to witness comparatively large proportions of intended permanent exits at Wau PoC AA during the reporting period: 44% of interviewed at the site in Dec 2018 and 45% in Jan 2019 cited that they intended to exit the site permanently. Trends amongst those traveling from Sudan mirrored those observed in the previous reporting period. In both December and January, 18% of entering individuals (new entries [6%] and persons returning from temporary absences [12%]) arrived from Sudan. These arrivals were primarily observed at Bentiu PoC site, with an increasing proportion of persons returning to Malakal PoC site from Sudan after longer absences. Whilst new arrivals from Sudan cited family as their primary reason for entering the site, those returning after an absence had usually been in Sudan to access basic services such as healthcare and education. Almost all new arrivals from Sudan already had family at the sites (98%).

DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) surveys people on the move at key transit points within South Sudan and at its borders. It provides an insight into mobility trends and patterns, migration drivers and traveller profiles to inform programming by humanitarian and development partners and by the government. Nineteen Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in February 2019, surveying internal flows and cross border travel between South Sudan (SSD in graphs) and Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sudan (SDN).

Au cours du mois de Février, la DTM a identifié 130,562 personnes déplacées internes. Les principaux motifs de déplacement ont été : désastres naturels (75%) et la situation socio-politique (25%).

Within the period of 11 - 17 March 2019, a total of 2,276 movements were recorded, including 2,169 arrivals and 107 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Chibok, Damboa, Dikwa, Gwoza, Jere, Konduga, Maiduguri, Mobbar and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) ofBorno state and locations in Demsa, Fufore, Maiha and Numan LGAs of Adamawa state. Departures were recorded at Askira/Uba LGA of Borno state, Fufore and Maiha LGAs of Adamawa state. ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (20%), improved security (4%), ongoing conflict (59%), fear of attack (3%) and poor living conditions (14%).
