Reports

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix has been monitoring displacement movements related to this crisis since October 15, when Iraqi Security Forces began moving into disputed areas previously held by Kurdish forces. As of 18 December 2017, a total of 145,608 individuals are currently displaced from the disputed areas. To date, there are 201,078 returnees from this crisis.

Les profils de sites présentent les données-clé obtenues lors de collectes effectuées le 9 novembre 2017 dans dans les sites suivants: Kaseke; Kalenge; Lubuye; Hodari; Mwaka; Katanika; Kankomba Office; Kankomba Tesef; EP La Gloire; EP Moni.

DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) was deployed to track and provide up to date information on sudden displacement and population movements in: Askira, Bama, Chibok, Damboa, Dikwa, Gubio, Gwoza, Jere, Kaga, Kala/Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Mafa, Maiduguri, Monguno, Ngala, Ngazai and Hong in Borno State and Madagali, Magumeri, Michika, Mobbar, Mubi North, Mubi South, Yola North and Yola South in Adamawa State.

As of 30 November 2017, the DTM has identified 2,883,738 internally displaced persons (480,623 families) displaced after January 2014, dispersed across 97 districts and 3,707 locations in Iraq. For the same period, DTM has also identified 2,759,658 returnees (459,943 families). Overall, the total number of identified IDPs decreased by 9% (289,350 individuals). Decreases were recorded across 17 of Iraq’s 18 governorates, including drops of 25% in Erbil (90,780), 18% (59,328) in Salah al-Din, 5% (46,482) in Ninewa, and 16% (42,144) in Kirkuk. The returnee population continued to increase steadily by 5% (135,228 individuals) during the month of November, following a surge of 15% (342,060) during the month of October. The governorate with the highest increase in the number of returnees was Ninewa with 72,684 individuals (14% increase). Considering the available information and the DTM methodology, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) has revised the planning figures for the humanitarian response at 2.9 million internally displaced persons.

IOM conducted flow monitoring at various cross border points, transit areas, PoCs, and IDP Collective sites across South Sudan. Flow monitoring captures the movement dynamics of the displaced population in the country. 1,967 individuals were recorded transiting through the three Flow Monitoring points in Juba City (Gumbo Park, Customs Park & Juba Port), while 932  individuals were recorded transiting through the Flow Monitoring point in Old Fangak Port and 584 were recorded transiting in and out of the PoC in Abyei Amiet Park.

En réponse à la crise humanitaire qui affecte actuellement la région du Kasaï, l‘OIM a débuté en août 2017 son projet de matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix en anglais-DTM). Les premières évaluations DTM ont eu lieu du 26 août au 16 septembre 2017 (Phase 1) et la seconde évaluation s’est déroulée du 17 au 31 novembre 2017 (Phase 2). Le territoire de Kananga où se concentrent 30% des déplacés est le plus touché par le déplacement forcé. Kazumba et Demba sont les principaux territoires accueillant des retournés (respectivement 23 et 21% du total des retournés). Les individus ont été principalement déplacés à l’intérieur du Kasai Central. Toutefois, 36% des PDI proviennent de la province du Kasai.

The objective of this VAS report was to provide baseline data to map the basic needs and critical gaps of services in the payams, Wau North and South. Five bomas within these payams were covered, namely Block A-E. Reduced meals were used as coping mechanisms for food scarcity in all bomas. 49% of assessed water points were non-functional (117/238). 72% of assessed health facilities were operational with limited capacity (13/18). 69% of functioning health facilities operated without trained doctors. 91% of assessed schools were operational with limited capacity, 19% of which were secondary schools. The average dropout rate was 11% in 2017 and mainly due to conflict (48%) and migration (16%). The average student to teacher ratio was 37 to one. 

The DTM has been monitoring displacement movements from West Anbar areas, particularly the districts of Ana, Al-Ka’im and Ru’ua, since January 2017. Displacement has been taking place since then as a consequence of hostilities in the area, and mainly in anticipation of the larger military operations announced to be launched several times throughout 2017. The DTM has consequently set up an integrated system composed of a flow monitoring system at Kilo 18 screening site and the regular DTM Emergency Tracking, which tracks IDPs at their location of displacement. 62,910 IDPs transited through Kilo 18 screening site since January 2017; 68,484 IDPs displaced from West Anbar since January 2017 and identified at their location of displacement, of these: 46,356 IDPs currently registered in camps; 22,128 IDPs identified in out-of-camp locations, including: 21,366 IDPs in private settings and 762 IDPs in critical shelter.

In the 20th century, there have been multiple waves of movement of Rohingya population from Rakhine State in Myanmar to Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh and back. This report is a review of available literature on the Rohingya influxes into Bangladesh since 1978. Documentation on the situation for those residing inside and outside camps in Bangladesh reveals patterns of persistent needs and constraints since 1978. These constraints include congestion, restrictions on freedom of movement and continued statelessness and denial of rights – which, in turn, reduce the possibility of generating income, and drive high rates of malnutrition, low access or quality of WASH facilities, low availability of educational facilities, significant protection concerns, the risk of epidemics, and high prevalence of negative coping mechanisms. The review seeks to provide a historical context to the current influx, in terms of population movement, status and sector responses. This report aims to help inform current and future humanitarian response. 

The Integrated Location Assessment (ILA) collects detailed information on IDP and returnee families. The Integrated Location Assessment II was conducted from 11 March to end of May 2017 and covered 3,583 locations hosting at least one or more IDP and/or returnee families, reaching 279,019 returnee families and 354,976 IDP families (corresponding to 1,674,114 returnee and 2,129,856 IDP individuals). Returnees often face multiple challenges when they return home and remain a vulnerable population in Iraq and in urgent need of assistance. In nearly half of the surveyed locations – with peaks of 96% and 84% in Baghdad and Kirkuk respectively – most returnees are reported as unemployed; 32% returned to properties that have suffered significant to complete damage (with peaks of 57% and 53% in Diyala and Kirkuk respectively); and 60% and 43% are concerned about the poor quality of health services and of water. In addition, most of these returnees were displaced for more than three years, meaning that they return carrying the stress and financial weakening that result from long-term displacement. Although to a certain extent, the general security situation has stabilized since mid-2014, personal security continues to be a concern in daily life and episodes of domestic violence and petty crimes – and to a lesser extent sexual assaults and kidnapping – are still reported.
