On 16 September 2020, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted Emergency Event Tracking to capture information about flood affected population in Twic East and Duk Counties of Jonglei State. DTM found that 32,660 individuals, (6,608 households) were displaced between 4 August  and 4 September 2020 to payams in Awerial County, Lakes State. According to available information, IDPs have found refuge among the host community within Mingkaman area. Food, shelter and non-food items were reported as the most urgent needs among the displaced community.

This Middle East and North Africa (MENA) report summarizes mobility restrictions at airports, land, and blue border crossing points resulting from the mitigation measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

IOM DTM in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the state Ministry of Health have been conducting monitoring of individuals moving into Nigeria's conflict-affected northeastern states of Adamawa and Borno under pillar four (Points of entry) of COVID 19 preparedness and response planning guidelines.   During the period 31 October - 06 November 2020, 180 movements were observed at Eight Points of Entries in Adamawa and Borno states. Of the total movements recorded, 76 were incoming from Extreme Nord in Cameroon.   A range of data was collected during the assessment to better inform on migrants’ nationalities, gender, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in Figures 1 to 4 below.

The crisis in Nigeria’s North Central and North West zones, which involves long-standing tensions between ethnic and linguistic groups; attacks by criminal groups; and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways) led to fresh wave of population displacement.   Latest attacks affected 427 individuals, including 23 injuries and 10 fatalities, in Birnin Gwari, Chikun, Kajuru LGAs of Kaduna State, Maradun LGA of Zamfara State and Faskari, Batsari LGAs of Katsina State between the 02 - 08 November, 2020. The attacks caused people to flee to neighboring localities.   A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and immediate needs.

Ce rapport est composé d’un ensemble d’infographies et de cartes sur les tendances migratoires au Burkina Faso. Il traite des différents types de mobilités de populations recensés depuis, vers et au sein du territoire burkinabè, et dresse une vue générale des populations en mouvements. Il a pour objectif de fournir une compréhension plus précise des différents aspects liés à la mobilité et à la migration. Il s’agit ici de mettre en évidence les multiples dynamique migratoires au Burkina Faso. Ainsi, plusieurs types de mobilités sont traités sur ce document; les mouvements économiques internes ou vers l’étranger, les stocks migratoires au Burkina Faso et à l’étranger,  les nationalités en transit au Burkina Faso et les déplacées internes liés à la situation sécuritaire du pays. Ce rapport est le résultat d’une compilation de diverses  bases de données, de rapports provenant de différentes sources d’information et de témoignages recueillis directement auprès des populations mobiles ou d’informateurs clés. Les sources sont indiquées dans chacune des pages dans l’encadré « Détails et Sources ». Si elles ne peuvent être parfaitement représentatives, les données présentées fournissent néanmoins une image générale de la situation migratoire au Burkina Faso.

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 a population movement which took place in the 9th arrondissement of N’Djamena, on 28 October 2020. On 28 October 2020, following floods caused by a dike breach in Gardolé Djedide quartier (9th arrondissement of N’Djamena), 1,600 households (11,500 individuals) were forced to flee their homes. These individuals took refuge on the Tradex site, located in the same arrondissement. It is worth mentioning that 98 households (562 individuals) were already settled on this site between July and September 2020 (see the report on their profiles).

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 7 to 12 October 2020, 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 the past month, among the 73 resettlement sites assessed, four sites (Bandua 2019, Geromi, Mdhala, and Muconja in Sofala province) reported the arrival of 22 Mozambican migrant workers returning from South Africa. All sites reported a noticeable change in people’s behaviours and habits to better prevent COVID-19.

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 des informations sur un mouvement de personnes, survenu le 2 novembre 2020 dans un site de la province du Lac.
