These areas included parts of Ninewa, Diyala, Salah al-Din and Erbil governorates. In the early weeks of the crisis the situation was very fluid, with many displacement patterns lasting only a matter of days. DTM has been monitoring return movements from this crisis since late October 2017. To date, there are 204,270 Returnees from the disputed areas crisis and 144,768 current IDPs.

This is an interactive profile generator that displays snapshots of each of Libya’s 100 baladiyas gathered through DTM Libya’s Mobility Tracking assessments. Basic multi-sectorial data from the baladiya is presented in addition to data on IDPs, returnees and and migrants in the baladiya. To use the generator, select the desired baladiya from the dropdown list in cell E1 and the data in the form will automatically populate. Each baladiya profile can be saved as a PDF by clicking on the “Export to PDF” button.

DTM has been monitoring displacement movements from West Anbar governorate, particularly the districts of Ana, Al Ka’im and Ru’a, since January 2017. ISF operations to retake ISIL's last strongholds in West Anbar intensified in September and finished in November. As most IDPs transit through Kilo 18 and Hamman al-Aleel screening sites, DTM has activated a flow monitoring system for these two sites, in addition to the core DTM methodology of identifying IDPs at their location of displacement and return. 64,008 IDPs displaced from West Anbar since January 2017 and identified at their location of displacement, of these: 41,856 IDPs currently registered in camps; 22,152 IDPs identified in out-of-camp locations, including: 21,366 IDPs in private settings and 786 IDPs in critical shelter.
