Reports

The following are the findings from 63 collective centers assessed during the first round of DTM assessments conducted from 11-15 October 2017. The assessed collective centers house 1,862 individuals (361 households), of which 32% present vulnerabilities. All IDPs indicated the destruction/severe damage of their house as the main reason for remaining in shelters and key informants in all centers have indicated that shelter materials such as wood, metal sheeting, and tools are needed to repair damaged homes.

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. 56,892 IDPs transited through Kilo 18 screening site since January 2017; 61,974 IDPs displaced from West Anbar since January 2017 and identified at their location of displacement, of these: 40,266 IDPs currently registered in camps; 21,708 IDPs identified in out-of-camp locations, including: 21,168 IDPs in private settings and 540 IDPs in critical shelter.

IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix has been monitoring displacement due to tensions over the Kurdish referendum crisis since the vote took place on 25 September. Major displacement movements have been observed since 15 October, when Iraqi security forces began moving into areas that had been held by Kurdish forces. These areas included parts of Ninewa, Diyala, Salah al-Din and Erbil governorates. As of 19 October, there is a total of 110,586 individuals still displaced: 105,222 individuals displaced after 15 Oct and are still displaced; 5,364 individuals pre-emptive displaced between 25 Sept to 14 Oct. 39,642 individuals have returned from Sulaymaniyah to Kirkuk.

As part of its tenth round of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted a Return Intention Survey targeting IDPs in the Far North Region of Cameroon. The survey was conducted in August 2017 in the six Departments of the Far North Region: Diamare, Mayo-Danay, Mayo-Kani, Mayo-Tsanaga, Mayo-Sava, and Logone-et-Chari. A total of 2,335 IDP households were interviewed in 496 localities.

As of 15 October, IDPs from Sabratah returned to their town except five families whose houses were burnt. Their needs are foods, NFIs and house repairs. In addition, Alhamra Detention Center witnessed an increase of 6,000 migrants and on 4 October, a bombing took place in Misrata, killing four people and wounding 42 civilians.  

Au sein des 17 quartiers évalués, 64% des ménages déplacés identifés résident dans un abri en dur, tandis que 36% d'entre eux résident dans un abri en paille ou tôle. Tous les informateurs clé ont déclaré que les populations de leur quartier peuvent accéder sans difficulté à un poste de santé. Tous ont également déclaré au'aucune assistance n'était fournie dans leur quartier et qu'aucun enfant ne fréquentait d'école. Dans 94% des cas, la sécurité n'est pas assurée dans le quartier. Toutefois, les relations avec les communautés hôtes sont excellentes dans 76% des cas. 94% des personnes déplacées ne mangent qu'un repas par jour (contre 24% avant le déplacement). Il existe au moins une source d'eau dans chacun des quartiers évalués.      

Dans le cadre de sa dixième phase de la Matrice de Suivi des Deplacements (DTM), l’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) a mené une Enquête sur les Intentions de Retour ciblant les Personnes Deplacées Internes (PDIs) dans la région de l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun. L’enquête a eu lieu en Août 2017 dans les six départements de la région: Diamare, Mayo-Danay, Mayo-Kani, Mayo Tsanaga, Mayo-Sava, et Logone-et-Chari. L'enquête a été menée dans 496 localités auprès de 2 335 de ménages deplacés (PDI).

Hurricane Maria made landfall on the island of Dominica on 18 September 2017 as a category 5 hurricane, causing the death of at least 26 persons and extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure. This document includes profiles of sites that host IDPs on the island, following the hurricane.

Following a volcanic eruption on the island of Ambae, 10,869 individuals were internally displaced. The document provides a breakdowns of IDPs.

Following a volcano eruption on the Ambae island, a majority of displaced people fled to and around Luganville. Around 35 camps and evacuation centers, housing 5,901 individuals divided in 1606 households, were set up. 51% of individuals housed in were male and 49% were female.

DTM Emergency tracking tool was deployed to track and provide up to date information on sudden displacement and population movements in: Askira, Borno, Bama, Chibok, Damboa, Dikwa, Gwoza, Jere, Kaga, Kala Balge, Kukawa, Maduguri, Mafa, Monguno, Ngala, in Borno State and Madagali, Michika and Mubi North in Adamawa State.

DTM and NFI teams collected updated information on the number and needs of IDPs within South Sudan in the areas of Lainya and Wonduruba. A total of 2,397 displaced households were recorded in Wonduruba, while 2,389 or 4,659 households were recorded as displaced, depending on the source. The primary driver of displacement amongst the assessed population is attributed to the ongoing conflict. The majority of internally displaced persons (IDPs) do not intend to return to their pre-displacement locations. There are no functioning schools in the IDP settlements in Lainya and Wonduruba and the children are not attending school. Two of the seven locations assessed are inaccessible to humanitarian agencies as they are controlled by opposition groups and accessible only to local chiefs. A majority of the population uses water from streams around the displacement areas and only few receive water from boreholes. It is recommended that: returnees be registered in locations accessible to humanitarian agencies; WASH items be included in caseloads; the WASH cluster be engaged more comprehensively; a mobile clinic be installed during registration and distribution in Wonduruba
