Context
Due to the latest crisis in Syria, DTM Iraq launched an emergency tracking tool on 14 October to monitor population fleeing the conflict and crossing into Iraq. The information presented here is collected by IOM at the relevant border points and covers all the displaced population.
Methodology
The DTM has teams monitoring the following border points on a daily basis: Fishkhabour and Ibrahim Al Khalil in Dahuk, Al-Fao and Rabi’a in Ninewa, and nearby Sahela and Alwaleed villages in Ninewa.
As part of their regular border monitoring, they collected information about regular border crossings, but these are not covered in this special tracking report. Only individuals fleeing the conflict in Syria will be reported here. This information is collected by IOM staff specifically posted at the relevant border points to meet with the displaced population. The data on age, gender and location of origin is gathered from heads of households during registration for transportation and is representative of all arrivals on the specified date.
