Reports

On 23 May 2017, a group of rebel fighters called the “Maute Group” attacked the city of Marawi in Lanao del Sur, population: 211,000+. The assault affected 98% of the population, displacing 359,680 people. A majority of the displaced have sought shelter from relatives, instead of heading to evacuation centers set up by the government and its partners. A large issue in evacuation centers is congestion, which is partly relieved by home-based and community-based IDPs, although their option to find refuge in family opens them up to other issues as well, including access to aid and assistance.The collection of data for the 7th Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) report aims to assess gaps, needs and issues of the evacuation centers in Iligan City, and municipalities of Balo-i, Pantar and Pantao Ragat in Lanao del Norte of Region X; and Saguiaran in Lanao del Sur of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. This DTM report provides updates on the situation of the evacuation centers, IDPs' intentions to return to their places of origin and how solutions can be provided for their sustainable return.

DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is deployed to track and provide up-to-date information on sudden displacement and other population movements. Notably, this ETT found that 100 individuals (INDs) arrived at Askira/Uba and 9 left Askira/Uba, while 724 INDs arrived at Gwoza during the reporting period.

In Malakal PoC, the main reason for entering the PoC is “Shortage of Food” (24 individuals – 41%) followed by “Joining the rest of the family” (18 individuals - 30%). The main reason for leaving in Bentiu PoC is “to join the rest of the Family” (643 ind. – 65%).

Most displacement took place along a few main axes, through Badosh, Al Masaid and Muhalabiyah areas, in Mosul district. Most IDPs, gathered at mustering points, eventually reached Hammam Al Aliel screening site, from where they  roceeded to camps and out-of-camp locations. The DTM set up two integrated monitoring systems, a flow monitoring system at Hammam Al Aliel screening site and the usual Emergency Tracking, which tracks the IDP population at the location of displacement.
