Internally displaced persons (IDPs) that have recently fled to Yambio town as a result of conflict indicate that they have traveled from areas such as Saura, Makporo, Mamamo, Bazumburu, and Rimenze (Yambio Payam). Transport to and from the town has been limited as travel routes have become insecure, and IDPs have resorted to traveling by foot to reach IDP sites and places of refuge in host community settings. Local churches and humanitarian partners have been able to provide some support to ceratain locations in Yambio, including meals, non-food items, medical care and family reunification services. However, IDPs in each location indicate that further support is needed.The following document provides information on spontaneous displacement in Hai Malakia, Timbiro ECS Cathedral Parish, Ikpiro, St. Mary Catholic Parish, Suk Siro, and Tiindoka. 

Since the end of May, conflict between government and opposition forces has led to IDPs fleeing to Tambura from the Nagero area. Travel routes are unsafe, and IDPs have resorted to traveling by foot to reach IDP sites. Local institutions such as churches have provided critical support to IDPs, at times hosting IDPs themselves during initial displacement and providing food assistance. Subsequently, humanitarian organizations have also provided resources for IDPs to meet their basic needs. IDPs stated that they cannot presently return to their habitual residences as cases of violence, abductions and looting of household items still continue in those areas.

In Afghanistan, DTM employs the Baseline Mobility Assessment tool, designed to track mobility, determine the population sizes and locations of forcibly displaced people, reasons for displacement, places of origin, displacement locations and times of displacement, including basic demographics, as well as vulnerabilities and priority needs. Data is collected at the settlement level, through key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and direct observations. Through the Baseline Mobility Assessments, DTM tracks the locations, population sizes, and cross-sectoral needs of five core target population categories: Returnees from abroad, out-migrants (Internally Displaced Persons, or IDPs), subdivided in "arrival IDPs", "returnee IDPs", and "fled IDPs". Between January and March 2018, 15 provinces, 188 districts and 6,744 settlements were assessed, including interviews with 36,807 key informants. Between 2012 and 2018, 1,810,954 returnees and 1,843,833 IDPs currently in host communities, were identified.
