Le suivi des urgences a pour but de recueillir des informations sur les mouvements importants et soudains de populations. Les informations sont collectées à travers des entretiens avec des informateurs clés ou des observations directes. Ce tableau de bord présente les informations sur des mouvements de personnes survenus entre le 15 et le 17 janvier 2021 dans quatre sites de la province du Lac.  - Le 15 janvier 2021, suite à une attaque armée survenue le 14 janvier 2021 dans les villages de Kadoulou et Daliarom (sous-préfecture de Kaiga-Kindjiria, département de Fouli), 250 ménages (820 individus) se sont réfugiés dans le site de Diamerom, situé dans la sous-préfecture de Liwa au sein du même département.  - Les 16 et 17 janvier 2021, en raison de l’insécurité croissante dans les îles du lac Tchad (due à la multiplication des attaques perpétrées par des groupes armés non-étatiques), 521 ménages (2 170 individus) ont quitté de manière préventive leurs villages situés dans la sous-préfecture de Kangalam (département de Mamdi). Ces personnes se sont réfugiées sur la terre ferme, dans les sites de Bibi Barrage et Bibi Dar-Al-Amne (au sein de la même sous-préfecture), ainsi que dans un nouveau site (à ce jour sans nom) situé entre le site de Kafia et le village de Goumachorom (sous-préfecture de Baga-Sola, département de Kaya).

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation. This dashboard provides information on movements which occurred from 15 to 17 January 2020 in four sites of Lac Province. - On 15 January 2021, following an armed attack which occurred on 14 January 2021 in the villages de Kadoulou and Daliarom (Kangalam sous-préfecture, Mamdi département), 250 households (820 individuals) took refuge in the site of Diamerom, located in the Liwa sous-préfecture within the same département.  - On 16 and 17 January 2021, with insecurity growing on the islands of Lake Chad (due to increased attacks by non-state armed groups), 521 households (2,170 individuals) preventively left their villages in the sous-préfecture of Kangalam (Mamdi département). These individuals took refuge on the mainland, in the sites of Bibi Barrage and Bibi Dar-Al-Amne (within the same sous-préfecture), as well as in a new, as of yet unnamed site located between the site of Kafia and the village of Goumachorom (Baga-Sola sous-préfecture, Kaya département).

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the Government of Mozambique’s National Disaster Management Agency (INGC) conducted an assessment in the resettlement sites from 07 to 11 January 2021, with the sole purpose to inform government and humanitarian partners on preparedness levels and precautionary measures currently available in resettlement sites hosting populations displaced by Cyclone Idai. The information gathered is intended to help partners plan interventions. This information will further allow partners to identify recommended health and site preparation measures to prevent and contain an outbreak in the resettlement sites in the central region. In contrast to the previous assessments, none of the key informants reported the arrivals from neighbouring countries of Mozambican migrant workers, joining their families in the resettlement sites, in the past month.

According to the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, in July 2020, there were 1,448,615 people registered as internally displaced persons (IDPs), that is individuals who have le their homes and moved to a different area and/or region of Ukraine. Almost half of the registered IDPs settled in government-controlled areas (GCA) of Donetsk Oblast (510,861) and Luhansk Oblast (280,520). Areas with the highest shares of IDPs located further away from the mentioned oblasts included the city of Kyiv (160,036) and Kyiv Oblast (63,267), Kharkiv Oblast (134,335), Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (71,277) and Zaporizhia Oblast (56,107). In 2016, IOM began conducting a regular complex survey of the situation with IDPs in Ukraine – the National Monitoring System (NMS) to support all the government and non-government stakeholders in designing evidence-based policies and programmatic responses on IDPs.   The NMS annually reaches more than 15,000 conflict-affected persons across all the 24 oblasts of Ukraine, including IDPs residing in government- controlled areas (GCA), those who have returned to the non-government controlled areas (NGCA) and other groups. The survey collects information on the different aspects of IDPs’ lives: financial situation, employment, needs, mobility, and integration into the local communities. The NMS methodology ensures data collection using both quantitative and qualitative research methods including face-to-face and telephone sample surveys, focus group discussions (FGDs) as well as other relevant data sources.

DTM teams activated Emergency Event Tracking (EET) to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by inter-communal conflict between Masalit and Arab tribes. Clashes erupted on 16 January 2021 in the Krinding area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur. The second update estimates an additional caseload of 40,000 individuals (8,000 households) gathering in open areas of El Salam and Umshejira villages, Ag Geneina locality, having been displaced from different Arab villages nearby. This brings the estimated total caseload to 86,150 displaced individuals (17,230 households). All individuals are Sudanese nationals. Based on a ranking scale, the three main priority needs of the additional caseload are identified as non-food items, food and health (medical needs).

The heavy rainfall that started since the landfall of Tropical Storm Chalane (30 December 2020) has led to the relocation of some residents of Mugassa Manga and Ndundaz neighbourhoods in Cidade da Beira districts of Sofala province.

Results from the assessment show that an estimated 765 individuals (255 households) were relocated from the neighbourhoods. A total of 2 accommodation centres have been activated, Samora Machel in Esturro neighbourhood (hosting 587 individuals) and IFAPA in Aeroporto neighbourhood (hosting 178 individuals). All the relocated individuals are living in tents provided by Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres (INGD). The top humanitarian needs identified include: food, tents, drinkable water, hygiene kit, and soap. According to interviewed key informants, the individuals received assistance (food, water, and tents) from the Provincial authorities and the INGD.
