Heavy monsoon rainfall in July 2020 triggered large scale flooding and landslides in several district across Nepal. From the onset of monsoon on 12 June until September 2020, the number of deaths due to landslides, floods and lightning has reached 363. It was reported that 317 persons were injured, and 103 persons were missing across the country. From 17 until 23 September 2020, the DTM team conducted remote assessment of 12 active sites hosting more than 2,000 individuals in three districts. Out of 29 active sites assessed during DTM round 1, only 12 sites were found to be hosting five households or more in camps or camp like settings while the remaining sites were either closed or merged as a new site. All five sites in Gulmi assessed during round 1 had closed and four new sites were identified in Sindhupalchowk and Sankhuwasabha Districts. In the case of Jajarkot District, none of the six active sites identified during round 1 could be assessed due to disturbances in telecommunication system in the district. Since DTM round 1, the number of communities displaced by landslides has dropped by almost 61%.
After the impact of Cyclone Idai in Zimbabwe in March 2019, IOM has been continuously monitoring the affected population through it’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) tools. From 26 August to 17 September 2020, IOM DTM Team, in close coordination with the Government of Zimbabwe, conducted a Return Intention Assessment in 6 wards of Chimanimani District and 4 wards of Chipinge District, Manicaland province. This exercise collected data from a total of 713 households (HH) in the 10 wards combined. The following report is an analysis of the data gathered from the assessment, covering household profiles, intentions and livelihood situations. The main objective of the survey is to better understand the intentions and living conditions of the population residing in these affected areas in order to support recovery and reintegration efforts by providing the support needed in terms of shelter and livelihoods.
The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, and provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round One), and activated on a needs basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

After the impact of Cyclone Idai in Zimbabwe in March 2019, IOM has been continuously monitoring the affected population through it’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) tools. From 26 August -17 September 2020, IOM DTM Team conducted a Return Assessment, Reintegration and Recovery survey (Multi Sectoral Village Assessment) in 79 villages across Chimanimani and Chipinge Districts of Manicaland province. The following section of this report provides an analysis of the current situation of IDPs in the affected village.The main objective of the survey is to better understand the living conditions of the population in order to support recovery and reintegration efforts.

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 03 - 09 October 2020, 213 movements were observed at Ten Points of Entries in Adamawa and Borno states. Of the total movements recorded, 30 were incoming from Extreme Nord, 13 from Nord, 1 from Centre in Cameroon and 2 from N’Djamena in Chad Republic. 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.
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.
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 1,355 individuals, including 5 injuries and 12 fatalities, in Guma LGA of Benue State, Birnin Gwari, Chikun LGAs of Kaduna State, Riyom LGA of Plateau State, Maradun LGA of Zamfara State and Faskari, Kankia LGAs of Katsina State between the 05 - 11 October, 2020. The attacks caused people to flee to neighboring localities. Also, 287 individuals were displaced due to flooding in Plateau State from heavy rainfalls that occurred during the reporting period. A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and immediate needs.
DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects and reports on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography and needs. In the first eights months of 2020, conflict and natural disasters have resulted in new patterns of displacement, particularly in Marib, Al Hudaydah, Al Dhale'e, Taizz, and Al Jawf governorates. From 01 January 2020- 10 October 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 24,544 Households (147,264 Individuals) have experienced displacement, at least once. Between the 4th October 2020 and 10th of October 2020, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 207 Households (1,242 individuals) displaced at least once, the highest number of displacements were seen in: Marib (107 HH) – Al Abdiyah (29 HH), Al Jubah (17 HH), Marib City (13 HH) districts.Most displacements in the governorate were internal. Taizz (62 HH) – Al Misrakh (12 HH), Salh (10 HH), Jabal Habashy (10 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Taiz and Al Hudaydah. Al Hudaydah (21 HH) – Ad Durayhimi (15 HH), At Tuhayat (6 HH) districts.All displacements in the governorate were internal. Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts. Marib (103 HH) – Mahliyah (42 HH), Rahabah (31 HH), Medghal (21 HH) districts. Al Hudaydah (39 HH) – Ad Durayhimi (21 HH), At Tuhayat (6 HH), Hays (4 HH) districts. Taizz (29 HH) – At Ta'iziyah (8 HH), Sabir Al Mawadim (5 HH), Salh (5 HH) districts.
