Reports

This dashboard provides a summary of CCCM activities, cluster partners presence, beneficiaries reached, and site assessments. 1.1 million people have been identified as newly displaced since January 2017. 1,751 sites werre assessed in 24 districs and 1,549,830 individuals were reached. 78% of verified sites were spontaneous sites.  

Following an increase in the number of new arrivals in Baidoa in January, a joint verification exercise was conducted during the first week of February by CCCM partners. IOM, MORDA, South West Commission for IDPs and Refugees, UNHCR, ACTED, ISLAMIC RELIEF, READO and DRC took part in the verification of the 18 new IDP sites. Following this update, CCCM partners have identified a total of 323 IDP sites and 41,325 households that were assessed and mapped.

While the risk of famine in Somalia has declined, humanitarian needs remain at critical levels. An estimated 5.4 million people are in need of assistance, 2.1 million are internally displaced, and 1.2 million children are projected to be malnourished. The 2018 Gu season is forecasted to be normal to below normal; however, given current conditions, humanitarian assistance must be sustained. Somalia has taken critical steps towards making progress in state building and mitigating the impacts of natural and human-made shocks and these gains must be protected. IOMcontinues its efforts at the humanitarian-development nexus, meeting humanitarian needs while reducing risk and vulnerabilities and increasing resilience. 

47 706 personnes déplacées internes (10 927 ménages) ont été enregistrées et identifiées par le programme DTM dans l'ensemble des régions du Mali. En outre, 17 698 nouveaux PDIs ont été observées dans les régions de Ménaka, Gao et Tombouctou entre octobre 2017 et janvier 2018. 10 571 PDIs sont rétournées dans leurs localités d'origines et 77% des PDIs désirent retourner dans leurs lieux d'origine tandis que 21% veulent rester sur place pour le moment.

Somalia continued to face drought conditions in 2017 due to four consecutive rainy seasons. The November 2016-2017 drought, forced over one million individuals into other regions of Somalia, bringing the total number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to over 2 million, further exacerbating existing vulnerabilities, particularly among women, children, elderly, persons with disabilities and marginalized communities. The overall number of people in need of humanitarian assistance reached 6.2 million, more than 40 per cent of the population. Massive migration from rural to urban and peri-urban centres in Somalia placed strain on the already stressed capacity of municipalities to provide basic services such as water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and health. Lack of potable water, adequate sanitation facilities, and hygiene practices coupled with poor health infrastructure led to an increase in disease outbreak. Despite a decline in recent months, the number of measles continue to remain at epidemic levels with more than 20,000 cases recorded since January, four times higher than in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Somalia registered over 60,000 cases of AWD/Cholera cases with 821 cholera related deaths across 55 districts. Of the affected districts, 34 were classified as difficult to access for implementing partners. Although two major communicable diseases were contained, strengthening access to basic services continues to be a priority to reduce the level of vulnerability and need. The ongoing conflict contributes to persistent instability reducing the resilience of communities, triggering displacement and impeding civilians’ access to basic services and humanitarians’ access to those in need. The operating environment in Somalia continues to be among the most challenging. The underserved districts remain with limited access to life-saving assistance, crisis-affected communities in these areas are disproportionally affected by food insecurity, malnutrition, disease outbreaks and inadequate WASH services.  Since 2006, IOM has been providing life-saving humanitarian assistance to migrants and mobile populations in Somalia, including IDPs, and host community members. In 2018, IOM Somalia’s Preparedness and Response Division (PRD) which includes Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), Shelter and Non-Food Items (S-NFI), Health, WASH, Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) and Protection will continue to respond to the severe ongoing drought.

This report is a joint IOM-UNHCR report depicting Afghan returns from the neighbouring Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan and challenges faced by returning Afghans. Over 610,000 Afghans returned from the Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan in 2017. This includes 60,000 registered refugees that returned from Pakistan, 100,000 undocumented returnees from Pakistan, and over 450,000 undocumented returnees from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Following the arrival of more than 1 million documented and undocumented Afghan returnees that returned in 2016, the existing capacity to absorb new arrivals in country is under significant strain and negative coping mechanisms such as remigration are increasingly prevalent. Returns are taking place against a backdrop of increased internal displacement and high civilian casualties due to persisting instability in several regions of Afghanistan. During 2017, over 500,000 individuals were newly displaced, while over 674,000 individuals were displaced in 2016. The continuing insecurity and limited capacity to absorb returning Afghans and those displaced within Afghanistan could lead to secondary displacement and onward movement.

Sectarian and inter-communal violence erupted in December 2013 and resulted in internal and cross-border displacement of persons. The Central African Republic continues to experience high levels of insecurity and violent conflicts among different armed groups in most parts of the country, which causes new and protracted displacement. This dashboard presents information collected from 23rd December 2017 to 15th January 2018 in 195 villages and 5 sites in four Prefectures: Ouham-Pende, Nana-Gribizi, Bamingui-Bangoran and Mbomou. 61,050 IDPs, 32,466 former IDPs (Returnees), and 11,678 Returneed from abroad were identified. 51% of identified individuals were female, while 49% were male. 65% of them were minors (48% of which were under 5 years old); the average households was made up of 7.7 persons. 71% of households lived with host communities, 27% in rented shelters and 2% in collective shelters. 

Tawerghan IDPs are facing multiple challenges that continue to prevent them from returning to their homes. School holidays have been underway since the 23rd February, resulting in a consistent increase in the number of IDPs in the camps. Tents in the camps are not able to protect IDPs from rain or cold due to extreme weather conditions. 14 tents in Qararat Al-Katf camp were damaged during the night of the 22nd of February, with some others destroyed earlier in the week.Compared to the number of families in the camps, the number of tents remains insufficient.

Within the period of 21 to 27 February 2018, a total of 6,749 arrivals and 3,441 departures were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Chibok, Damboa, Demsa, Dikwa, Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Gubio, Guzamala, Gwoza, Hawul, Hong, Jere, Kaga, Kala/Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Madagali, Mafa, Magumeri, Maiha, Michika, Mobbar, Monguno, Mubi-North, Mubi-South, Ngala, Nganzai, Numan, Yola-North and Yola-South LGAs in Borno and Adamawa States. The main triggers of movements were ongoing conflict (34%), poor living conditions (30%), voluntary relocation (14%), military operations (10%), improved security (9%) and fear of attack (3%).

IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix has been monitoring displacement movements since 15 October 2017, when Iraqi security forces began moving into disputed areas that had previously been held by Kurdish forces. These areas included parts of Ninewa, Diyala, Salah al-Din and Erbil governorates. DTM identified 223,416 returnees and 136,992 IDPs.  

Published on a bi-weekly basis, the Displacement Event Tracker reports on incidents related to IDPs, returnees and migrants, especially in regards to large population movement updates. In Bani Waleed, On February 14, a large truck used by smugglers to transport migrants from the As Saddadah (60 km south-east of Bani Waleed) to Tarhuna, was involved in a car accident causing the death of 19 migrants and injuring 49 more migrants. Out of the 180 migrants involved, 138 were Eritreans while the remaining were Somalis and Ethiopians. In Sebha, On 24th of February, clashes between armed groups resulted in the displacement of 100 Households in El Kahira Muhalla. The families were displaced within the same baladiya and their main needs are NFIs.
