South Sudan Displacement Data - [IDPs, Returnees] - Emergency Event Tracking [IOM DTM]

South Sudan is grappling with a multifaceted humanitarian crisis marked by significant internal displacements. The factors fueling these displacement dynamics are diverse, encompassing communal clashes, land disputes, insecurity, violence, disasters, and cross-border movements.

During the period from the 1st to the 30th of June 2024, a sequence of events unfolded, resulting in the displacement of 7,381 individuals in Panyijar (4,476 individuals) and Tonj North counties (2,905 individuals).

IOM DTM employs Event Tracking as a more rapid and localized assessment tool complementing overall efforts to report IDP and Returnee figures nationally. IOM teams access IDP/Returnee locations and consult local key informants including community representatives, local authorities or humanitarian partners and triangulate findings to provide partners with the most accurate as possible, actionable and current data.

IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix conducts a country-wide Mobility Tracking exercise in regular intervals to update a comprehensive IDP and returnee baseline. In-between mobility tracking rounds, DTM conducts ad hoc Event Tracking assessment in order to map instances of new displacement or return in short dedicated reports.
